Seriously, why would you race super hard right at the beginning and risk tearing everything up?

They're just riding out at the moment. No reason to do something stupid right now.

Everything I've learnt about Plate racing tells me you don't judge the quality of the race on the first half.

Just treat it as a practice session tbh

Once JR gets back on the lead lap there'll be a caution somehow to bunch everything up then it really will be gotime.

Callin' it

It's a typical NWS race at Daytona, average boring racing first 95% then crazy for the last 5%
You watch there'll be a massive crash at the finish and you'll all go "omgawd BEAT RACE EVER 100/10" quickly forgetting that you were disgusted with the majority of the race.

Like it was at Talladega last October?

There is a happy balance between a pack and tandem racing, and Nationwide had found that place for the last 2 years. Not sure why NASCAR felt it necessary to turn this race into another freight train.

Yes, because only tandem racing sends cars into fences.

Don't forget they nearly managed to put Dillon in the fence last October whilst running all in a line.

True, I said yesterday dumb to have a race with 15 cars out before the first half, Only thing Im worried about is a long green run and have no one on the lead lap.

Yea, cos pack racing really stops cars hitting the fence........

Oh wait, it doesn't!

NASCAR just listened to idiot Jr fans and banned the best thing to happen to SS racing.

I don't know if it's because I'm actually watching the racing rather than moaning about it on the internet but I've enjoyed speedweeks so far

This isn't pack racing......it's single file racing.

The effect what is called the 'remembering self'

Sorry for the academic intermezzo, but it's cool.
