I do not know where NASCAR thinks they are helping the sport when we read from Fox Sports the following piece of information that will help reduce cost (supposedly):
When the truck series first debuted, the series was able to limit expenses by having teams pit once at halfway under a competition caution and have fewer men over the wall.
A similar plan could be in the works that would bring trucks down pit road according to the order on the track. Teams would be allowed to pit and the trucks would then return to the track in the same order, similar to a TV time out in football or basketball.
One of the things that attracts me to NASCAR is the high speed chess match that takes place each week. Do we pit now, do we wait to pit, do we take two or four tires? All of these effect the results. Do just do a competition caution would increase the yawn factor about 75%. So much can be gained or lost in the pits. No NASCAR, do not do it. I realize it is the TRUCKS and that is a testing ground of sorts, but leave this stuff to your minor leagues or the ARCA Remax series.
