Overra88ted needs to realize that the shootout car had a completely different chassis than the 500 car. Last season was one of frustration, anger and loss of selfconfidence for Jr. He has come through it stronger and will win multiple races this year. The Jr. haters are not going to be happy when he proves them wrong!

One key reason, not all there is more money in the sport and with large mega sponsors and more money in the teams, they will take more chances!Thus more wrecked cars!

Remember the days of Alan Kuwicki, Bud Moore, Leo Jackson, Wood Bros, Mogan Mclure, they probably had only two cars at Daytona! So they made sure most of the drivers were conservative with their equipment!

I still dont like the idea of doing ‘BURN OUTS” at the end of a race! Looks to me the way they ‘micro manage” the specs of a race car, being hight, tires, spoilier angle, etc, I have seen plenty of burnouts in which a blowned engine or tire, or back into the wall doing a doughnut, that damage a race car, one has to wonder how do they inspect after all the damage!!!!!!

Another rule I would change is eliminate the ‘TAPE ON THE GRILLE” there is no need to have rules on grille or front fasia angles and styles and then cover it up with DUCT TAPE! I mean have you ever wondered what is wrong with leaving the grille open?

For the 88 team qualifying second means nothing. In the Bud Shootout Jr. was a non-factor, using his God-given average at best talent to drive it straight to the back. Jr.’s 11th place finish was the result of a multi-car last lap crash, not because of talent.

Mark Martin had a senior moment and Dummy Hamlin had yet another inexperienced kid moment.

Um isnt the answer here the same reason Mark Martin doesnt burn up a car after a win. Didnt he once say if these kids had to work on those cars to get them ready again they would treat them a lot better

Thank you midasmicah. It’s so nice to hear from a non-Jr fan who still wishes him well.

Mark Martin will be fine and I’m really pulling for Junior this year. I’ve never been a big junior fan, but when you look at what he’s had to go through being Dale Sr’s son, I’m really hoping he does better. Last year he looked like he wasn’t having any fun. It would be good for him and nas$car for him to do better this year.
