@ghost_304  Guys will have to weigh their options of lining up behind a same make or gaining a few spots and line up behind a different make.

@dartmaster501yea it’s going be crazy if all the manufacturers work together line up behind each other lol.

It wasn’t applied to Daytona

If you mean your position depends on whether the leader takes the inside or the outside, it doesn’t work that way. It doesn’t matter which side the leader chooses, from row 2 on back, the inside cars are odd positions (3 5, 7, etc.) and the outsiide cars are the even spots (2, 4, 6, etc.).

You can only lose spots if you choose to. If you’re 11th and 5 cars in front of you take the inside and 5 take the outside, you choose whether you are 6th on the inside and restart 11th or be the 6th car on the outside and restart 12th. You can gain spots depending on how those 10 cars choose. Say 6 take the inside and 4 take the outside, you can choose to be the 5th car on the outside and restart 10 or the 7th car on the inside and restart 13th. I’ve seen guys move up two or three rows because more people in front of them take one side versus the other. Martinsville is a good example. The inside is preferred and more people up front will choose that side on restarts. Others have to decide whether to gain a few spots by taking the outside versus how many spots they’ll lose to the cars on the inside. Guys have moved up 2 or 3 rows and gained a few spots by choosing the shorter outside line, but ended up losing more to the line of cars on the inside.

This is much better than what seemed to start just a few years ago. While the leader could choose to take the inside or the outside, everyone from row two on back restarted depending on the position. Odd positions inside and even positions outside. Dudes were practically stopping on pit row so they came out in a certain position depending on which was preferred, the inside or the outside.

Depends on who you ask.
