6 thoughts on “Bring on a New Rules Package Already

  1. NASCAR has been in need of a rule package that reigns in the horsepower and makes the draft more important than handling for a long time. I too am anxious to phase in the restrictor plate-draft duct package that worked at Indianapolis for Busch-Xfinity cars and is thus phasing into their races at Pocono and Michigan, I feel this package will finally open up passing for the Cup series.

  2. It goes with out saying that the new rules, after 1976 or before, have caused a lot of the poor racing. The day of old is gone but needs to return .
    allow the teams to purchase a show room car for less than $50,000.00 that is a car that any JOE could purchase. Allow the teams to spend $25,000.00 on the engine $30,000.00 on frame and safety of driver as well as body work .
    car body would have to fit a factory templet . wheels would need to be approved tires approved . total labor and transporter not to exceed $1,500,000.00 for the season let the teams be creative and find ways to make them go fast.

    1. Thanks for reading Jim. I must admit, I too miss the days when someone could build a car in the garage behind their house and make the field!

  3. what happened to the “need for speed””….. thats what the sport was founded on …notlook alike restricte d hot wheels follwing each other around…..let them race… lets see who has the brass ones…. Tired of boring racing if you call it that… God nascar has lost the concept…

  4. Need to put the driving back in the hands of the driver.No roller cams, 10in wide tires, factory body shape only. Spoilers for safety only.No restrictor plates as 10in tires will make drivers slow down for turns, and also run cooler and last longer then the wider tire.Cars will be slower but more equal and top speed will be close to same for all.Pit crews and drivers will make the difference.Side by side starts are good,as now its a good driver that wins restart.Cut down the cost and yu will get the sponsers back.

  5. We haven’t missed a race since the first night race (1992) in Charlotte,infield parking at turn 3. Over the years there were many rule changes being made, ridiculous penalties, unnecessary yellow flags especially near the end of the race. In 2011 the big TV screen was installed, nice but now we payed more attention to the big screen than watching the track race. It was ok for crashes or yellow flags reruns. Paying for a RV infield spot $$$. I could watch the race at home. Never renewed the spot after the 2012 season, 20yrs. I couldn’t say the last time I watched a full race, It’s just too commercial, too political, no fun anymore. Selling NASCAR won’t bring back the glory days……Knock it down and bring in a MLB team. Oh I forgot to mention the new toll roads coming $$$
