NASCAR considering more Friday qualifying

The reason is they cannot get a word in edge-wise because of all the college football -- sponsor $$ is the key to this. They'll probably run quals later in the afternoon ... just sayin'

Sounds like ok changes as per stated above.......unless Nascar adds some suprises to it. LOL

LOL!!

Hear talk of dropping the "top 35".

What???? you mean they listened to us......now that's scary. (re top 35)

For the first time since 2008, NASCAR will allow Sprint Cup organizations to test independently at tracks that host events in NASCAR's top three touring series.

thats huge news IMO.. racing should get better

This is a money maker for the tracks it adds one more day to the race weekend, Now your ticket gets you in on Friday or Saturday you can watch practice -qualifing -and the Nationwide race .......going to Friday qualifying for a sunday race means now you would have to buy another ticket for fridays events.......just another way to get more $$$$$$$$$$

I like to watch Friday Quals. Good news for me.

Have you heard anything about this particular point? I have a hard time believing that that is their motivation. NASCAR fans are already staying home because of the high costs involved in going to the events and I just can't see the track owners shooting themselves in the foot trying to squeeze more money from an already broke fan base.

That would be, in a word, AWESOME!

That's one of the things I like about the NHRA, there is no guaranteed spot in the field. A couple of years ago John Force himself failed to qualify for an event.

Imagine, having to actually EARN your way into the field.....now THAT'S racing!!!!!!!!!

How about same day qualifying like in Nationwide and Trucks. They qualify the cars then line them up for the race, no adjustments, tire changes, or fuel added, you have to start the car like it is after your qualifying lap. (adjusted for applicable penalties.)

testing sessions are usually either closed to the public or open & free.. it's not for lets say a thursday before a race, it's whenever the teams want to go.. either way, with the new car next year they're going to need all the testing they can get

Thats just like Saturday night dirt-tracken.....the way to go.

I dislike these "Nascar thinkin of" stories. I'll wait until they actually stop thinkin and do somethin.Not slammin Nascar but slammin these filler stories.
Will say that if they are really thinkin of droppin the 35 rule, that would be good

hahahahahahahahaha, classic!!!!! good ole TuRDs!

I have an idea for 'change'. Dump this chase nonsense. Back to racing the way it should be... the Champion at the end of the year is the one who prevailed at the end of the entire year - not the last 10 races. Enough of these faux champions.
