I honestly don’t think stage cautions should count towards the lap total, but I’d also agree with this as a move

I can go either way, but you briefly mentioned they will never race back to the line again. But that in and of itself would make a finish more satisfying. The 2007 daytona 500 is the perfect example because in today’s NASCAR, mark Martin wins that race because somebody upstairs pushes a button 1000 ft before the start finish line. You can race to the line in both scenarios, whether you abolish OT or not, it can still work. If you want to abolish ANYTHING, abolish the yellow line rule.

If NASCAR is serious about keeping costs down for the smaller teams then GWC needs to go away at least at the super speedways. I don’t know how much money was lost in all those wrecks at the end, but I’m betting it was a bunch. What’s the difference between Kyle winning under caution and Stenhouse winning under caution while he was sitting still on the track?

Well AFTER last year’s all star race which almost had Mike Joy say some truths on TV of how garbage NASCAR handled the entire overtime situation that almost disqualified Blaney.
it should return to classic rules with a twist, Overtime is now accepted only at road and street courses, Ovals and Superspeedways goes on without it.

Cap it at 1 attempt.

Yes. It didn’t solve the problem, race still ended under yellow anyway. All the other yellow flag laps count, and so should the last couple.

Id say its less of the superspeedway racing style. And more of the length. Id just go with one attempt and call it good.

@J. Paul M. I agree if the wreck on the last lap is on the backstretch they should keep it green because by the time the leaders reach them the next time around they’ll have a whole half lap to reduce their speed

I think if there is a wreck on the back stretch or in a later part of the track they should race back to green because by the time the drivers reach the wrecked cars the next lap around they’ll be going at much reduced speeds

Like either caution laps won’t count with under 10 to go or red flag the race and then run it back all the way to green.
