What Kyle Busch did in 2015 should be considered one of the greatest performances/comebacks of all time. Considering Chase Elliott will end up missing less races and still it looks like he is going to miss the playoffs all together let alone win the championship like Kyle did. What he did that year was simply amazing

I remember when they started double file restarts. I remember how simple of an idea it was but to me it felt like a brand new sport. Blew my mind the first couple of races. I hate when Nascar suspends a driver and then grants them a playoff waiver. I also hate that it all comes down to 1 race. I feel like if they are going to do things the way they are doing it now it should come down to the final 3 races and whoever has the most points out of the final 4 should win.

In reply to SmokeyMcHaggis.

@SmokeyMcHaggis 2003 the same yr for the Jarrett crash…

During the 2003 season, to increase safety for the drivers, NASCAR banned racing back to the yellow flag after the caution is displayed. While this has increased safety (safety crews can respond more quickly) the rule contains a special “beneficiary” or as it’s more commonly known, a “lucky dog” provision.

Nothing for the rules is anything close to what you posted.

In reply to Grandpa Shark. I don't think it will change how many laps are run under caution though. When it's one to go they get ready to go double file.

In reply to SmokeyMcHaggis. @Kharn The Betrayer this is why they changed the rule about racing to the line not why they added the lucky dog. They added the lucky dog specifically when they changed the restart rule with the lapped cars going to the tail end.

Another recent rule change you didn’t mention – The choose rule! I actually like that change. One tweak I would do is, on big ovals, put the choose box on the backstretch, like they do on road courses. Cut down the number of pace laps.

In reply to Austin Emms. The only problem with this is that I don't think Nascar will do it. The only reason they added stages was for the scheduled cautions. That way, they can have guaranteed pauses for commercials on TV and a break for the fans to buy food.

Technically, “Lucky Dog” was coined by Michael Waltrip during the truck races, and that spread to the Cup booth before Aaron’s did the sponsorship. But yeah, get rid of the rule.

In reply to SmokeyMcHaggis. No it was because of Dale Jarrett’s wreck at New Hampshire and just about getting plowed down because of racing back to the line .
