Summer,
Thanks for the reminder of that 25-car pile-up. Though, the second big one with 3 laps to go upset me more (wrecks are fine in NASCAR, until your favorite driver, Kevin Harvick, is taken out in the process).
The restrictor plates are a problem, because when you try to limit a car’s horsepower it puts everyone in those 30 or 40 car groups. I liked what Ricky Rudd said following the crash that its not racing, its just following a line.
Take the plates out and you have cars going at least 220 mph, as evident by Rusty Wallace’s test either last year or two years ago, without a plate at Daytona and ‘Dega. That’s with today’s technology buillt around restrictor plates.
