Sending 12 teams home is just insane. Highest car count of Speedweeks and the lowest allowed into the race.

How do you deal with low car counts? Reduce the size of the field and make it harder to make the race

I think sending more teams home is good. Makes it sweeter to make the race. I could see the new charter system in Cup actually creating more truck and xfinity teams.

I have a feeling the caution clock thing is being blown out of proportion. I bet we barely notice it or by mid season no one speaks much of it. Kind of like all the people up in arms about the 3 coming back then you heard absolutely ZERO mention of it after the 2014 500.


This is the sad sort of capitulation that makes these retarded changes increasingly easy for NASCAR to implement. Of course we're gonna notice this wildly contrived, anti-racing aspect being thrown into the mix. There are many reasons why, but most noticeable is that there will never be scheduled green flag pit stops for as long as the caution clock exists.

This is the worst part of it all. It's unbelievable really.

pretty sad, They should do 36 trucks for the big tracks but I doubt that will happen anytime soon.

either way it will be back to 27 trucks and a few late entry S&P's by Kansas and the western big tracks

Would be epic if the trucks would run at New Smyrna the Weds before the Duel. Like a Battle at the Beach non-points event.

That would be badass. More short tracks the better, too bad it would need major upgrades for NASCAR to even look at it.
