NASCAR announced today that this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, AL that they would only use one green white checker attempt if needed. This was introduced after Austin Dillon went airborne into the catch fence at the Daytona International Speedway in July. NASCAR States that the pressure won't be as high in just one Green White Checker Finish as it would be in 2 more attempts.
I disagree. The Wreck in Daytona was just one attempt at a G.W.C and I don't think limiting them like this will work especially since many drivers will need to win to get to the next round. With only 7 Spots left for 11 drivers tensions will be higher than ever. Don't be surprised if your favorite driver doesn't make it to the next round and if you are a fan of either Joey Logano or The Underfunded teams don't be surprised if they wind up in victory lane.
With this new rule I went back and did some research and some of the biggest wrecks in the past have happened not in attempt 2 and 3 but attempt 1! We will see if this pays off but I just hope everyone leaves Talladega the way they came in. (Koelle, 2015)
