Thread: Hope Talladega is ready for some changes!

Looks like some rules might get switched around, including the out-of-bounds marker at the bottom of the track! I don't know...if the drivers drove over the line for long enough, they'd be cutting the race shorter, if you think about it...

NASCAR to announce rule changes that might affect Talladega | Blog of Tomorrow - al.com

I'm not sure I understand why they are looking at changing this rule. Does NASCAR just randomly decide to change things like this? It doesn't make sense to me. Please help me understand!

Apparently there was once a race where one driver passed another, but crossed over this line on the inside of the track while doing it, and so his win was disqualified and racing fans were upset about it...I guess they figure the closest the drivers can get to the barriers, the better?

Well, it should be interesting to see how the drivers choose to work this into their strategies for the race, and to see if there is going to be an increase of drivers ending up on the infield.
