Has anyone heard if they will be making any changes as far as the pitting goes? I know in the Spring it seemed like with the current rules, the guys on the back stretrch were getting out sooner than those on the front.
 
I'm going to assume that the new pit rules for Bristol are still in effect, as Jayski's still has the old info posted under Saturday's race:

New Bristol Pit Rules: Bristol Motor Speedway will operate under a plan where one-pit road will be used during pit stops under caution. Currently, Bristol remains the only track in Winston Cup that utilizes two pit roads. Teams that pit on the backstretch are usually at a competitive disadvantage. Winston Cup series director John Darby said event director David Hoots recently made a trip to Bristol and developed the plan to use one pit road under caution. Teams will enter pit road in Turn 2 (the current backstretch pit entrance) drive around down the backstretch and around Turns 3 and 4 and exit in Turn 1. Under green-flag conditions teams will enter and exit pit road under the current two-pit-road scheme. The new plan requires no additional construction at the track, Darby said.(ThatsRacin.com)(2-14-2002)
 
as always na$car will adjust the rules according to who crys the most
:D
 
The rules that they had in the Spring were STOOPUD! The drivers on the back stretch had the advantage, and yet drivers that qualified in the top 25 (or somewhere around that number) were not allowed to choose spots on the back stretch! Where is the motivation to qualify well. If a team was smart, and had provisionals they would not even try to run quick, save the motor, use a provisional, and choose a pit on the back stretch. Just another example of Nascar "leveling the playing field"!!! Retarded!:mad:

Guess I'm stooud too.......the rules in the Spring were a great improvement over the old rules. With all the cautions at Bristol if you qualified on the back stretch pits you were almost assured you were not going to finish well. It's more even this way.....some snags yet but still very much closer to even.:)
 
I think I heard that if the keep the rules the same as in the spring, drivers who qualified well could choose pits in the back stretch if they wanted.

That seems fair to me..
 
The rules in the spring did Not allow the drivers to pit on the back stretch, if they would make that change it wouldn't be so bad.
