NASCAR also needs to review this double row restarts. With the "lucky dog" rule, there is no reason to have lap cars starting up front. I know they changed it from 10 to 20 laps this year, but that doesn't help when there is rain in the forcast. Had Vickers and Jr. been in the back of the pack, very different story yesterday.

Paul, we need to hook up and attend a race together one of these days ... looks like the ingredients for a good time because we think alike.

I was reading an article today addressing the lap down cars and double file restarts, somebody suggested that if NASCAR is going to continue double file restarts to line the cars up just like the beginning with the leaders doubled up and all lapped cars behind them, the idea is that if a couple of cars gets tangled up front it's at least cars racing for position rather than trying to get a lap back. Sounds fair to me ... at least on the restrictor plate races, usually it's a non-issue at most other tracks.

Hey Rick, that sounds like a good idea. I will admit it. I am addicted to the sport. After a race like on Sunday, I tell my self I sould give it up, pack it in, and take up tennis. But as the weekend starts to get closer, I slip back into my usual mode of excitment and anticipation. And by Friday night, I'm hooked just like I was the week before.

I suppose there are worse things to be addicted too (can't think of any off hand, but I am sure they are out there).

BTW, my wife and are are considering going to the Coca Cola 600 in May. See, addicted! LOL!
