NASCAR needs better officiating of races?
One thing NASCAR can do is play a greater role in officiating races. For example, NASCAR could mandate that a driver can make one move to block a competitor, but two or more successive attempts to block would result in a penalty. With a wall on the outside and the rules prohibiting passing below the yellow line at the bottom of the track, NASCAR has narrowed the field and encouraged blocking and rougher tactics at Daytona and Talladega. While NASCAR officials don’t like their calls to impact a race in a big way, that might be better than the other option: more high-speed wrecks that imperil more fans and drivers.– Virginian-Pilot
I think something has to be done, luck nobody was hurt at Daytona.
I agree something has got to be done..before someone else gets killed..very scarey the ending of the race last saturday nighr..
I am an old-school fan, one that was fan when Earnhardt and Wallace raced hard. Or when at Bistol, Earnhardt spun Terry Labonte to win the race but Labonte still won and hit the wall. The blocking, bump drafting, pushing, etc it part of racing. So the only montering is, to get the car safest they can be. And there was a few deathes happen during none races. Adam Petty died pacticing his car, Neil Bonnett died at Daytona testing for RCR. J.D. McDuffie crashed all by himself at Walkins Glen, and died, that is why the inner loop is at that track. So tring to say Nascar needs to stop all the stuff that the drivers to race the way they do, is insane. I say make the cars safer, keep racing the same.
