‘Tis the new season and it’s time for new rules, as is usually the case when it comes to NASCAR.
That’s not a ding, just an observation that as they continue to try and improve their product, NASCAR balances on a fine line between fine-tuning and tampering with the end result.
Last year’s 2011 NASCAR race season was pretty impressive. I think all in all, we had quite a few great finishes that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Yes, we also had gas-mileage races, but you have to admit, if its your guy in the car looking at fuel fumes, it can be pretty dramatic trying to not give yourself an ulcer worrying about whether he’ll make it or not.
{Psst: Daytona International Speedway Testing will take place January 14th to 16th}
But be it as it may, NASCAR is looking at some changes for the upcoming year… specifically, they’re looking at what they can change to minimize or eliminate tandem drafting. The people have spoken and NASCAR is reacting for them.
But how do you appease the people and keep it safe out there on the track? That’s a good question because face it, “the people” are not out there behind the wheels in 120 degree cockpits, hurtling along at 200 mph, trying to keep the car going straight and not crashing. (Trust me, they don’t drive like our cars do!)
