No complaining because this is what people have said they wanted.
Not me! Most entertaining part of a road course is the starts and restarts.
Can we implement this on the rest of the schedule? I’m cool with stage points but ditch the cautions.
**also** Please don’t bring back phantom debris cautions. We don’t need to keep manufacturing game 7 moments.
Could they possibly get rid of the stage cautions at other tracks too?
i believe the race will be better without the stage breaks
I honestly think it’s gonna make it worse because now you take the strategy of going for stage points vs finishing position away.
@Kyle Raymer they are still giving stage points just not throwing a cautionflag after each stage
@Michael leis Yes, I get that, but before they had the choice of pitting before the caution and getting to pass all the cars who stayed out for points when they pit under caution. Now there is no benefit to pit early as you would just end up coming out in the same spot you went in or at most you might gain 1 or 2 spots.
Get rid of them at ALL tracks! It’s okay to award points, just don’t interrupt the racing for it.
It will make this race interesting but not the majority of oval tracks.
Hope they get rid of stage cautions at all tracks.
Yay! I hope they skip stage breaks from all races soon
We should start a new segment called “getting weird with Weaver”
It’s going be like in the old days of NASCAR at COTA.
First race with no stage breaks since the 2016 Ford 400. It’s about time!
Alex bowman could of won at COTA last year up until ross sent A.J into bowman on the final turn I think either bowman or Austin cindric comes out on top
That would be a positive, now tell them to stay inside the track limits, real drivers will shine.
Glad you included that Allmendinger moved him first. That was a great race!
This is how it should be everywhere. Still give stage points to reward those who run well early but don’t throw the yellow to allow strategy and to let the race have a natural flow
great start, next should be removing stage cautions at ALL tracks!
Thank you NASCAR for this brave step forward!
They should get rid of the stage breaks everywhere. This is what we’ve all been asking for.
