Those cars are not finishing the race anyways.It wouldn't be fair to the people stuck behind the wreck. I mean, yeah, crashing out the cars in front of you, that is just "sport", but the cars behind, that isn't fair. Oddly enough, why don't they count who is where at the beginning of the incident?
I wonder if they eventually make it a night race. Seems it's been run at night the past few years after delays.In the well-run era, before Brian, NASCAR started the 500 at Noon, and it was generally long over before the weather in Florida, where it rains in the afternoon, set in. It also practiced the ultra interesting and ultra safe system of racing back to the caution. The 6 hour rain delay and the five minutes of idiotic commentary trying to figure out who was ahead when a caution happened BEHIND them, is the result of these dumb changes.

Starting at night for the 500 would never work, it already takes too long with the wrecks involved, if they started it at say Prime time, 8 pm, it would be over on Monday.I wonder if they eventually make it a night race. Seems it's been run at night the past few years after delays.
Thems' the brakes, or the gas I guess. It only matters who crosses the line first. Not who leads the race before that.Wow, glad I missed that ending ...
Wreck the 2 cars (one fairly intentional, the other happened to be there) in front of you and take the Win is just Not right.
It really looked like a Classic Kyle move ... fortunately it wasn't.
What time does the Coke 600 start?Starting at night for the 500 would never work, it already takes too long with the wrecks involved, if they started it at say Prime time, 8 pm, it would be over on Monday.
May 23rd ... 6 pm.What time does the Coke 600 start?
Well it is a holiday weekend.May 23rd ... 6 pm.
Thats More stupidity from Nascar, start the longest race of the year at 6 pm. on a Sunday no less.
Is it ?Well it is a holiday weekend.
Your right! I thought they always raced on Memorial Day weekend.Is it ?
I thought the holiday was the week after ....
Well, there is a certain most watched race on the planet that starts around Noon that day.May 23rd ... 6 pm.

If that were short track speed skating, the first two are screwed still, but the guy who causes it is out too.Thems' the brakes, or the gas I guess. It only matters who crosses the line first. Not who leads the race before that.
Does Indy ever throttle back their cars?If that were short track speed skating, the first two are screwed still, but the guy who causes it is out too.
Of course, this is the result of NASCAR refusing to admit that races on Super Speedways aren't viable anymore. You don't see Indycar at Daytona with tech to keep them slow.
They certainly stopped getting faster at Indy! They could, but safety can only go so high. I think there are limits on the engines, using the same general engine these days.Does Indy ever throttle back their cars?
