Any new rules that you think NASCAR should make?

Question

Can you think of any new rules that NASCAR should put in place?

Answer 1

Man people are clueless and ignorant, the question says NASCAR!

I think if a driver can't drive he should lose his points, not have a sub...how fair is that!?!?

I also think they should give tougher penalties, as they are starting to now, on agressive driving...we don't need anymore deaths! We have too many hotheads (Stewart, Kenseth, Busch brothers, etc.) they should be worrying about the most!

For the record: How do any of us KNOW Johnson had a clue what Knaus did, Johnson may have he may not have, WE will never KNOW! People need to get over it, he got penalized and is still winning, if they cheated anymore...they would've caught it as they did that time!

Answer 2

Yes - I think that they should not allow a team that is not good enough to qualify for a race or stay in the top 35 to buy a ride. Waltrip did that a few races ago - not right.

Watched the outlaw race last night - and they had a rule that if a driver gets in as an "alternate" (I think a driver dropped out and they let him race so they could have a full field), he can not get points for the race......They should make a rule like this for NASCAR - so, if Waltrip didn't qualify - sure buy a ride, but don't allow him to get points. Then his sponsor gets to see him on TV, and its fair to the rest of the drivers.

Waltrip can't qualify but he can buy a ride????? This deal was the only time we've seen NAPA on Nascar this year!!! :-)

Answer 3

i think that NASCAR has too many rules as it is, to strict, they just want to race, NASCAR makes it almost no fun to watch anymore. i understand all of the safty rules, and thats fine, but they should race the way they used to, a little bumpin & rubbin style. but with our safety technology. i also think that if they are more than 5 laps down, they should be eliminated from the race, if your car doesn't run good, then u have no buisiness on the track. for those people who say NASCAR isn't a sport, they might be right, its a way of life. how would u like it if NASCAR fans started saying that your precious 'footbal' wasn't a sport. it just gives a bunch of fat guys a chance to hit eachother, and get away with it. FOOTBALL SUCKS!!!!!

Answer 4

One thing I keep thinking about is the pit stops. NASCAR has been working and working on the safety aspect of the sport and have made great strides in that area. One thing, however, is getting worse and worse is the situation on pit road during caution flag pit stops. With as many cautions as a race has and almost all of the drivers coming in at the same time, we very often see crew members being hit and cars coming together damaging the race cars.

NASCAR can do one thing to make this situation much, much safer. That is to allow only green flag pit stops unless your car is damaged in a wreck. Of course, that wreck is normally what would have brought the caution out to begin with. By spreading the times the cars come into the pits, pit road would be safer. Also, they wouldn't have to run as many caution laps waiting for pit stops to be completed. They could get back to green much quicker.

Answer 5

just with the points. first place should get aleast 10 more points then 2nd place. so you can see ever harder racing in the end of the race. and on the race for the chase, the last 10 races i think the top 10 drivers should be seperated more then just 5 points from each other when they start. like 20 points maybe. its not fair for the points leader if they have a poor first race in the race to pretty much out of the chase in one race.
also at talladega and daytona take away the out of bounds line they have on the inside. that would make the racing there better like it used to be.

Answer 6

Absolutely ,NASCAR should make a new rule stating that any Nextel Cup driver who is in the top 25 in Nextel Cup points SHALL NOT be allowed to participate in Busch Series Races

Answer 7

"I hate NASCAR...NASCAR sucks....its a stupid sport..."

Wow, people, what valid arguments. You make me want to quit watching! Idiots!

If you hate it so much why do you answer questions about it? And why are you so narrow minded and hateful toward something that you don't understand? You MUST be liberals.

Now, to answer your question......I don't think they should change anything. I think by changing rules so much, they widen the competition gap between the big budget teams and the single car operations. I would just vote to NOT change anything for at least two years.

Answer 8

they need to change the lucky dog rule. instead of the first car not on the lead lap getting his lap back, it should be the first car a lap down or more behind the leader. this way it would be more like it was before the made the rule of not being able to race back to the finish line when a caution comes out. back then, if the first car a lap down was 20 cars behind the leader, he wouldnt have gotten his lap back. but with the free pass rule, u could be right in front of the leader and get ur lap back. stupid rule

Answer 9

NASCAR should eliminate the "lucky dog" clause where a lapped driver can get back on the lead lap during a caution. The "lucky dog" almost never wins, and is a poor example for competitors who are fighting all race long not to be lapped.

Answer 10

Keep Cup drivers out of the Busch Series, I believe it is a stomping ground and should be used for either teams that can't afford Cup cars or painfully, development drivers for experience.

I agree with NASCARFAN, Waltrip bought the McGlynn Racing #74 so he could race and show his sponsors off.

There are plenty other rules but those are the two that get on my nerves the most.
