My biggest argument about the DVP clock is the talking heads stating "it will keep cars feom coming back onto the track and losing debris". Solution: lets limit the amount of time they can make good repairs and consequently will lose more debris.
Best: Instituting a pit road speed in 1991. Before that drivers could rush down pit road but after a crew a member was killed from Bill Elliott's team the previous year, they implemented pit road speeds. Worst: Before that, the drivers were given random numbers (separate from their actual car numbers) and had to pit on whatever lap their number was, even numbered pit on even numbered laps and odd numbered cars pit on odd numbered laps.) However, this proved to be problematic as it was too confusing, and drivers were penalized for making necessary stops if a tire blew. This eventually led to a pit road speed limit as mentioned previously.
the yellow line rule on superspeedways was instituted back in 2001 in response to Dale Sr's tragic last lap crash in the Daytona 500. And it's been infuriating to all of us NASCAR fans ever since.
550hp high downforce was god awful. Full throttle "pack" racing was god awful. I thought I'd be watching more races again since those days are over but unfortunately I have watched less races than ever before because of how we crown a champion. Elimination style format is the worst thing NASCAR has done as well as crowning a champion in 1 race when it should be 10 races or 36
Yes. That could've gotten nasty really quick. It was dangerous enough that there was a gentlemen's agreement between the drivers to not race back and.to let lap down car
I like that they put the choose cone on the backstretch at road courses. They should do that at the bigger oval tracks too. Reduce the number of caution laps following the pace car.
I think if NASCAR went back to having the non points races have only 15-20 cars in it, single file restarts should happen. Especially at the crash at the crashiseum. Well, maybe not there, but at Daytona, where it should have never left, would be cool to see
Stage racing does suck. HANS device is what has made drivers safer. If Dale Sr. had used one, he'd probably be a retired announcer today. 100% on the horsepower cut, but it's still bad.
Here's a Few Stupid Rule Changes • The Playoffs • Stage Racing • Win and You're in • One Race to Decide a Champion • Overtime • Charter System • Yellow Line Rule • Turning Atlanta into a Mini Daytona and Talladega • 550 HP • Cars being too Aero Dependent since the Gen 5 Era
@4js123 1) They're too damn expensive. 2) That first thing is the exact reason as to why Dale Jr's JR Motorsports aren't doing Cup races. 3) There's less DNQ's today.
I feel like one of the best additions is stage racing but one of the worst is state cautions. Rewarding points for consistency is a great idea, but keeping the race green would be such a better tweak
Wasn’t there a rule in the truck series (didn’t last more than a season) where if they ran a certain amount of time, they’d throw the caution out? It would start over if a caution came out before then
Best was by far pit road speed limits, requiring the HANS device for all drivers. I hate stage cautions, ruins the strategy and only sets up one opportunity for a fuel strategy race. I also miss the 900 HP cars that were not easy to drive and actually took skill to be good at
Harvick did not wreck the field twice at Dega. His hands were clean of the first pile up. You can even see in your clip he moved up and out of the way on the first attempt
NASCAR overtime should not be a thing. All it does is change the outcome of a race that has already completed the scheduled distance. The race should have been declared completed and the finishing order final. Also the worst part of the 550hp package was that they did not have to lift off the throttle for mile and a half tracks. Drivers could not show off their skills behind the wheel because the car was not capable of going beyond the limit of grip, effectively making everyone the same speed. The race basically became hold the throttle down and hope you win. The only deciding factor in those cars was who could get the least amount of drag within the rules.
For me. I don't like the yellow out of bounce lines at superspeedway's. They need to get rid of it race like they used too back then. It made racing better before that yellow line was put in a long time ago.
That is offensive to those of us who are stuck in the 80's! Bias ply tires, boxy GM clones, no restricter plates and Buddy Baker on TNN. Dale Earnhardt drove a red and yellow Wrangler car and Harry Gant drove the Skoal Bandit. Y'all can keep the 90's, the 80's were NASCAR at its best.
The worst rule change of all time was brian france ruining the Championship format, first with the Chase and then with the elimination races. Such a stupid idea to introduce a playoff to auto racing... cheapens the first 26 races of the season, cheapens what a NASCAR Champion means (especially with the eliminations) and it has not brought in those young, hip fans that NASCAR craves. Fitting for a CEO that was unceremoniously fired in disgrace after getting his stupid, entitled ass arrested for a DUI.
I don't think they should limit it at all. Clint Bowyer broke the all time record for consecutive starts without a DNF because there was no limit on how long teams could take repairing their cars. 2009 Aaron's 499 he was in the big wreck on lap 6, several other drivers failed to return to the track at all but Clint came back out of the garage with 2 laps to go to preserve his streak

Agree with the pit road speed under caution but under green they should be able to bring it like the old days
@@johnnyfields2682 Not risking another tragedy at the pit road lanes.
The Double Yellow Line rule (cant remember when that was implemented but boy does EVERYONE hate that one!)

Wow. You could be my twin😂
Unlimited restarts for overtime is absolutely the worst thing to happen. Truck series finale this year is a nice little nugget
What about the removal of the race back to caution? Do you think that was a good change?
Yes. That could've gotten nasty really quick. It was dangerous enough that there was a gentlemen's agreement between the drivers to not race back and.to let lap down car
Imagine that with the Craftsman Thug Truck series

go back to 2003 points, rules (including field freezing cautions, that was a good idea for safety reasons, not bullshit)

how is the charter system stupid?

Jon Wes Townley was the rule tbh
still ironic how the next gen car was made to improve RC races and turned out to not only make them worse, but it improved the intermediates instead

Correction: Harvick only wrecked the field once at Talladega 2015. On the non-attempt, he got out of the way, and they still wrecked behind him.
You forgot stage racing and the playoffs
People who don't like the Lucky Dog rule or the Choose Rule are stuck in the 90's.
No they are just smart people who dont like bad rules

Wish they’d get rid of overtime, no stage racing, no playoffs, single file restarted just do what they do now but single file
Stage Racing is fine. Maybe get rid of the but the points are a good addition
Agreed with everything but the single file restart
Worst rule change was the age limit in the regional series. Completely neutered new driver development by not having any veterans to teach them l.
Overtime stage racing and the playoffs are all stupid
I hate that ever since I think they should rid time limits put lap down limits instead of 4:44

@@kingofrunescapepking like 20 laps down limit that is enough time to fix something
@@kingofrunescapepking I remember seeing people running at over 150 laps down
Honestly I disagree mostly with this video although I do appreciate him calling out the hypocrite and cheater boy harvick

I didn't realize you look like Drake Bell.
