We've had three races to witness the improvement to racing the double file restarts has brought to the Sprint Cup Series. Next weekend at Daytona we'll see if it improves the racing in the Nationwide Series as much.Today NASCAR announced that, effective next weekend in Daytona, the Nationwide cars will also start in a double file with all the lap down cars behind the leaders.
If there is one place where this will be a bonus to the fans, and to the teams, it is Daytona. All too often a lap down car, trying to get back on the lead lap, races a lead lap car for all they are worth, often resulting in "the Big One".
I think it is a very positive move and I can't wait to see how it all shakes out. I just can't imagine this being a bad move in any way.
...as for Tony..he will start in the back..he went to a backup car!
