Some positive NASCAR moves so far this year
Ok, we all like to complain about Nascar (and other sanctioning bodies) so I decided to post some of the changes that Nascar has implemented for this year that I think are positives.
1. Earlier and consistent starting times. Most of the afternoon races will have a 2:00 pm starting time.
2. Go or go home cars will qualify as a group at the end of qualifying.
3. Nascar fines will go to Nascar Foundation for charities this year.
4. Coor's Light replaces Bud as the official beer of Nascar
5. Pit Road rule changes restricting pushing of cars. Also, cars may not receive any assistance after the white flag has been displayed, except those cars making pit stops. I assume this is to prevent a team mate from pushing a team car that is running out of gas.
6. The COT (car of today) will participate in all races. Personally, I'd prefer "real" stock appearing cars but I'll compromise.
7. Coor's Light replaces Bud as the official beer of Nascar
guess I just like the Silver Bullet.
---------------------------------------------
Now here are some changes that are being discussed. Both a little controversial but I think would be positive in the long run.
1. NASCAR to increase age requirement? They are discussing raising the age to race in the Sprint Cup to 21 and leaving the age at 18 for truck and Nationwide series.
2. NASCAR to not give Cup drivers points in Nationwide races? In hopes of giving the Nationwide Series its own identity, NASCAR officials are considering one future option that would stop Cup regulars from earning points in the feeder league.
I'll stop the list here. Please feel free to add anything I've forgotten. Try to stay positive with this post. We could start another thread with ideas we think should be done but I don't want to get into that yet. I'd rather bi#*h a little at a time.

But since I don't go to any Nascar races I guess I'm good to go with it. So Beers to ya.
