From the outside? Maybe.

While Patrick's absence from the draft meant she didn't learn much about how her car would handle in pack-racing conditions, she knew one thing: The outside lane seemed to be far faster than the bottom.

As the pole-sitter, Patrick can choose to start on the outside instead of the inside if she wants — although she didn't know that immediately following the Duel.

"Do I have to start on the inside on Sunday?" she asked reporters. "I'm not really sure. Where does the pole start? The outside is looking pretty nice."

Gibson said they would discuss the option as a team, but said Patrick would "probably start on the outside."

I just completed the most recent one. I was able to put in a plug for this web site as a place to watch. They are much so far this year IMO.

It took me a while to figure out that the severity of my chronic CRS is in direct relation to the number of BLs consumed. Today its raining too hard to hunt so I must chat and pop tops. I got my survey early this morning. You know what my nemesis is (nascar.com), I got in my licks.
 
I'll be out today and miss the Nationwide race. One of you be a good lamb and cheer for Tony in the race today for me:D

Travis gets 10th and Stewart wins. Good results.

But at what price? At least 15 fans are injured. This can't be specifically blamed on the style of racing we see at Plate Tracks - but it sure is a contributing factor, no?

This kind of stuff unfortunately happens at 1/4 mile short tracks and any size track out there. Unfortunately it's just one of the dangers of racing and one that's given not a whole lot of thought by many fans. NASCAR puts a lot in keeping drivers and fans safe. The catch fences are very well designed and very tall. Look at the catch fence at Daytona when Bodine crashed in 2000 and look at the fence today. It's a night and day comparison and shows NASCAR is just as committed to fan safety as driver safety.

They need to make changes to those NNS cars so that tandem racing is impossible.

Tandem racing didn't have anything to do with this one. Brad had disconnected and was trying to pass. It was blocking high that caused it. Perhaps they should ban passing instead.
 
You can spend all day looking at video, pointing fingers saying this person should have done this and that person should have done that but when it all comes down to it, when they come around turn four in Daytona every driver has the same thing on their mind.... Take that checkered flag! And they will do anything to get it. Block, push, turn someone, anything. Sadly this is more often than not the end result but it is racing!

Tandem racing leads to those types incidents. There is no shortage of video that proves this.
