Yes, some very good points. Most drivers themselves don't like the lucky dog rule -- because the 'lucky' driver gets something he didn't earn. but nascar has justified the rule, basically, in the interest of entertainment. otherwise, it would be difficult to get a lap back. and, let's see, with this new 'shootout' style restart system, where would the lapped car have to be placed in order to have any legitimate chance at getting that lap back? hmmmm. i need to ponder that for a moment. can you help here?
At least NASCAR has stopped racing back to the yellow. that was a safety rule bobby allison long advocated. (though i still would like to know just a little bit more about how all these cars are 'frozen' in position at the instant of the yellow. if drivers weren't making so much money already guaranteed, maybe they'd be a little more vocal about checking on some things).
