Something to look forward to in 2010, perhaps? I like the double-file restarts. They already exist when the lapped cars show up on the inside, so it's not like the drivers would be seeing something totally new. With double-file restarts, you can put all of the lead-lap cars up front, then the lapped cars. The lapped cars would have their own race-within-a-race to get the lucky dog pass. It would make for some exciting racing. Each caution at Bristol would make for some interesting restarts. Will NASCAR dictate that the even-numbered positions HAVE to start on the outside, or will drivers have the option of remaining on the inside even if it means giving up a better position on the track so they don't have to start on the outside?
