The whole thing is an accident waiting to happen.
 
The next step will be a minimum pit road speed during qualifying. Otherwise they'll start rolling and stay rolling, but at 2 mph or so. Or those with a break in the wall will detour through the garages.

More tinkering in an effort to fix something that's only a problem at two tracks...

I posted the question last season as to why they park nose in. Someone posted that they cool the engine between runs with fans that aren't allowed on pit lane.

UPDATE: NASCAR has clarified new rule it announced yesterday re: quals. Drivers CAN stop on pit road, but they cannot IMPEDE someone.
 
Breaking news.....

NASCAR has just announced that the cars are being fitted with working turn signals so that they can safely merge onto the track with other competitors during the group qualifying segments. If the driver fails to use their turn signal properly they will then be issued a stop and go penalty on pit road during the qualifying session. NASCAR has announced further that they are currently unsure as to whether or not to then penalize the team for stopping on pit road. More to come.....

Ri-di-cu-lous

This is something drivers will forget about all the time about.
 
Breaking news.....

NASCAR has just announced that group qualifying will be broken into 47, two minute segments for today's qualifying sessions. Each segment will consist of a single car group sent out on the track. It has been determined by NASCAR that two minutes is the optimum time for each single car group to complete one warmup lap followed by two laps at speed. The fastest car after these 47 segments will be the pole sitter for Sunday's event. If NASCAR deems this method to be successful the new qualifying method will become the norm. More to come.....

He's here all week! Tip your waitress!
 
First thing they should do is change the damn name . Qualifying is something very different and new viewers aren't going to tune in if they think it's just qualifying.

The vehicles will be assigned to pit stalls, and they will park nose in. Once the vehicle backs up and starts rolling, it cannot stop and must proceed to the track. The vehicles may go one at a time or in a group, but they must keep rolling once they start.

must be a new addendum..they apparently can stop on pit road IF they don't block anybody..I guess it is called the courtesy parking rule..what's next week valet parking?

That will be followed an energy-saving initiative to encourage the drivers to car pool during qualifying. Drivers will need manufacturer's approval before riding in a different brand, but they'll get an exclusive 'diamond' lane on pit road.
 
So much for proceeding to the track after they pullout.Trucks still pulling the same crap.So much so only 2 trucks ran qualifying in second round because of jacking around on pit road
 
If they have to play that many games to get a good qual spot.The truck is crap anyhow.Stop with the games and get out there and run.Bunch of pussies.
 
Luckily , this time , the fastest car got the pole in the cup race . The odds of that happening are pretty slim.
 
This stuff reminds me of when you go to a 1st grade christmas program, that's how messed up it is.
