You sound new to the sport..because letting them basically get away with cheating really helped build the fanbase
This is a great strategy by NASCAR. Go big ball with the rule. Nobody gets nailed. "See, it worked!" Handle it behind closed doors. "Don't bring that back," kind of thing. About time. Everybody looks good.
You sound like you think NASCAR did this to get new fans.. pretty sure they did it to stop cheating.. funny how no matter what NASCAR announces people automatically go to "but will it bring new fans?"You sound new to the sport
They’re NEVER going to stop teams from trying to gain an edge on the competition. I hope this bites them in the butt.You sound like you think NASCAR did this to get new fans.. pretty sure they did it to stop cheating.. funny how no matter what NASCAR announces people automatically go to "but will it bring new fans?"
"Hey man, did you know Martinsville is raising the price of their hot dogs by $0.25"
"But the attendance and ratings at Kentucky were lower than last year! NASCAR is dying!!"

pretty simple..Well, what do YOU suggest? Ignore cheating altogether, or keep issuing penalties that have no teeth to them?
More gimmicks.Well, what do YOU suggest?
What's the "gimmick" factor with NASCAR letting all the teams know what's going to happen if they get caught cheating? I see this as an absolute win for NASCAR. If nothing else it boost credibility for NASCAR. Its always looked silly to acknowledge a team won by cheating, "but hey, they can keep the win anyway". This is a step in the right direction. I don't see a "gimmick" here.More gimmicks.
That oughta bring back the fans.

No driver will lose a win due to penalty in Cup.

It wouldn't matter to some posters no matter what they do, they aren't posting here for that and none of them have any solutions for the most part. But yeah they started out with gimmicks, withheld the winner of the 500, and in the age of no TV the fans going home knowing who the winner is worked, and like the ol U.S. that has thousands of rules on the books that aren't relevant it was time for this one to go.So a status quo that NOBODY agreed with is preferable to making a change? To me, what we've had for forty years was a gimmick, THIS gets some things back where they started out in the first place.

More micromanaging!
So why shouldn't a team be disqualified for going too far?They’re NEVER going to stop teams from trying to gain an edge on the competition. I hope this bites them in the butt.
if it doesn't make any sense, it is probably a good reason to let it lay.So why shouldn't a team be disqualified for going too far?

How many do you think will believe anything Nascar does? They spend most of their waking hours..never mind ya know where this goes.How exactly? I see this as less micromanaging. 1: have your car right prior to the race, 2: have your car right after the race. Or lose if you're caught cheating. If the post race car matches the pre race car, you should be fine. Will NASCAR make allowances for ride heights and such? Guess we'll have to wait and see.
Keep the penalties as they are.I repeat my question. How would YOU handle cheating in NASCAR?
Keep the penalties as they are.
that is a possibility..and if it happens it will be interesting to see how the new administration handles it.there will be many people wrecking the car in post race celbrating
Who knows what Nascar will or won’t enforce?You are talking about an organization that has played fast and loose with things for years so just to assume they have all of a sudden got religion is unwise.
judging by all of the races I have been to where cars are DQ'd for being illegal, and I have been to many and the DQ's are almost non existent one or two a season, about the only crying done if any are the people involved with the illegal car.How is this more micromanagement?
Considering how inspections are now this is a one and done type of deal. Get it right or get DQ'ed. This is as straightforward as its been for a while IMHO. I get where Bobby is coming from, but crowd favorite or not, I expect a lot of hurt feelings in the future.
Fans have been screaming for simplicity, now we finally get it.
I think the most consistent aspect of NASCAR is what isn’t working and the failed attempts to right the ship.Do you feel that has been effective? Has it stopped blatant attempts to cheat, what REAL price have the teams paid for breaking the rules?
