The changes keep coming.
Yep. Without a doubt.The first question thrown out by the media will be about the new chase rules.

RUMOR: Hearing each of the fastest qualifiers under the new system will actually have to sit on a pole until the race starts.

To be honest, even though I watched q'ing devotedly, at times it was tedious and boring ---- particularly at the road courses and Talladega.
If nothing else, this will make it interesting. I'm willing to give it a chance before condemning.
This is one change that I've heard recently that I like. It's enough to put my butt in the seat on qualifying day.
Don't you mean, "parody?"I like it. Anyone who's watched F1 qualifying knows how exciting it is, and NASCAR has even more parity.
Which is a good thing IMO. Outside of TRD's early woes last season there's been too little mechanical attrition.I see more engine failures in the future
they have to run only one set..wonder what happens if they cut a tire? start at the back I guess.I like it. There will certainly be more chance for controversy with other cars out there. It'll add some excitement with cars pitting in the last minutes for new tires to try to put in a faster lap as time winds down.

Plate qualifying will pretty much never mean anything.Two things. One, looks like teammates could do some drafting at the plate tracks to get those better times. Two, tracks that eat up tires like Atlanta and Darlington will see a lot of drivers lay down a good lap early and then park the rest of the session. There's nothing to gain trying to get a better time on worn tires on a track that eats them up.

Even for tracks that eat up tires, you'll see cars throughout the entire session, especially in the first round. Teams will be looking to get in clean air so they'll have to spread out their runs. And the other rounds are only 5-10 minutes.
