I give it until mid year before NASCAR revisits it.

By the time we come back to Daytona in July, yep, thats what I am thinking too

I know this sounds really f**ked up, but, I kind of want to see a wreck happen in the 500 early in the race that knocks out 20 or so cars , to show NASCAR can see how silly this 5 minute rule is

I like the idea behind it, it just needs adjusting.
 
If I were in this race, I would just fall off and lose the draft. There's no reason to even bother since you know that this format will give you a caution on lap 20.

Points are a reason. Would hate to miss the chase by 1 point knowing had you been top 10 here in just one segment you be in.
 
Whew! Bell just about rolled again for the 2nd year in a row.
They had a good 12 lap run there though before this caution.
I am entertained! I LIKE IT.
 
I had no sooner just told my buddy I'd like to see moffit win it... damn it.

These first two stages are too short. Heck, they ran 25 laps to a comp caution last night. The first two stages aren't even halfway. This should have been 25-25-50 or 30-30-40.

Not that there will be anyone left at the finish anyway.

Can NASCAR just install digital clocks in each pit that tell us how much time they've spent there?

They could implement the same digital clocks on the car that IndyCar and IMSA have used for a couple of years. Those show time in the pits. NASCAR talked about it several years ago, I think as part of the COT, but it never happened.
 
Btw... there's nothing that could ever make me like that Gallagher kid. Every race I've watched of his he makes a stupid boneheaded move

This is painful, worse than I thought it could be. When is "Stage 2" going to go green, lap 28?

IIRC, the timer starts when they enter their pit & stops when they exit pit lane.

Someone needs to keep track of this. Why can't FOX put a clock in the corner of the screen for each driver in the pits? This whole "I think he's over 5 minutes" is less than helpful.

I rather the yellow come out so we see as much on track action as possible. I do wish laps didn't count until they went back to green however.

Youre right. I was under the impression caution laps didnt count for the manufactured yellows. Thats lame AF

I'll cut Fox some slack (for once) on this one. They were probably caught as flat-footed as the rest of us by this change, and haven't figured out how to apply their usually heavy-handed graphics approach yet.
 
11 trucks out by lap 27.

A little uncomfortable watching the Nemecheks about take each other out.
