You finally made it. cuz Nascar. Go watch something else if you are having a problem. Your ideas of improvement aren't Nascar's it is as simple as that. Nobody in any racing series do pit stops as well as Nascar. The damaged midgets at the Chili Bowl get close, but nobody holds a candle to how much skill it takes to execute a pit stop than they do in Nascar.
Might as well ask why open wheel series don't run fenders, or why sports cars don't run single classes. Safer, maybe more efficient, but that's not what they're about.
Could have saved a ton on SAFER barriers....because of the inherent danger......and you're right, why bother with the ole contact patches? Dale Jr. Line 1. Thanks for the Latin....took me back to things I don't care about.
You'd miss me. I like to watch them go fast.
You are aware that Indy Car kind of does....to prevent them from getting airborne.....reduced that inherent danger thing which killed Wheldon......which is sad, and not great for the sport.....but you go kid.
Could only do it at a big track. Let's make it a big race. Future Daytona 500 with 30 cars/trucks each from each of the 3 national series at once. Lets break some Wrecords
Maybe kind of like an Iron since some say they are moving that anyway. Some also say the championship 4 should only race each other.
I could take that as an exhibition race, but I'll never be a fan of a winner take all championship race
Well, that ain't happening.

Aint got nuttin good to say dont need to say nuttin
I never said nuttin
What this will lead to is engine teams/engine builders getting penalized for doing too good of a job and making more horsepower. While it is an unwanted but sadly necessary evil in sports car racing, it has ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE in NASCAR. The absolute LAST thing NASCAR needs is even more cars going EXACTLY the same speed.
I understand you think it is your duty to find fault wherever possible, but the main theme of the article was that with this piece of equipment, other configurations of engines can be used similar to what other racing series do to handicap performance so all have an opportunity to compete on a level playing field.
Bozi is a crewman in IMSA.
Better and faster???
It's over some people heads.Better and faster???
You just said it: Handicap performance. There are so few areas available as it is to separate one car from another, and this will only exacerbate the problem. If you like watching a bunch of cars run 100 miles bumper to bumper and never change position, then this will be right up your alley. In IMSA, when one car somehow finds a slight performance advantage and wins a race, they usually get hammered with a BoP adjustment so draconian that the car ends up being completely uncompetitive for about half the season. It is one of the primary reasons I don't enjoy sportscar racing nearly as much as I used to. If this comes to NASCAR, it will likely be the final nail in the coffin for many of us. Today's race was nearly unwatchable as it was.
What will you find to complain about if that happens? I would like you to find me any racing series that doesn't have handicapping and let me know what it is. Find me in the rule book where it says you can run any size engine displacement, any kind of intake or wheel wheel tire combination etc.

I don't know how people pass at Darlington. Attending there numerous times I was always in awe of it's narrowness after growing up just south of MIS.
NASCAR has always given engine parameters to work in, but they have NEVER outright penalized teams for making too much horsepower. That is what they do in IMSA, and that evidently is what they want to bring to NASCAR. As for all of these passes, take out green pit stops and the first two laps after a restart and see what they look like. I saw several cars run multiple fuel stops and never change more than one position. Passes for the lead have been as rare as unicorns lately.
Tell ya what. You go ahead and handicap the passing all you chose. Take out 10% or 20% because they don't suit your fancy. Take out 90% , it doesn't matter, there is passing. The narrative is nonsense.
Objection, Your Honor. Unsubstantiated speculation on the part of the witness.
Rumors are that Nascar is open to that. Some are getting their pre-complaints in early to avoid the rush.
Well ya got part of it right with IMSA, but it isn't that simple. The goal is to balance the performance, not penalize anybody.
It's part of the I told ya so sect of the deathbedder clan.
