NASCAR 'racing' has evolved steadily into a cookie-cutter equalization JOKE ever since adaptation of so called "restrictor plate" racing after Bill Elliott set the still-standing qualification record at Daytona back in 1986 of over 210mph.
This forced equalization of cars creates 20 car wrecks instead of 2-3 car wrecks due to lack of separation.
It is at the point of being unwatchable.
The racing would be far better if rules similar to Formula 1 would be adapted.
Items that MUST be adapted:
ELIMINATE ANY/ALL rules that force equalization of vehicles and any forced safety devices since 1986.
Elimination of any pit speed limits.
Implement a hole-shot racing start out of the pits like Formula 1.
Unlimited number of pit crew members just like F1.
NEVER any forced pit stops.
NEVER close pit road.
Unlimited number of tire changes.
Allow ONLY USA-headquartered brands.
Eliminate full-course yellow flags like Formula 1, short of that, yellow flagged laps don't count toward the total distance.
Vehicles must have factory driveline configuration; i.e. no FWD bodies on a RWD chassis.
All engines must be naturally aspirated, and a factory-style short block design. After that, ANY cylinder head and induction design allowed.
Bodies must conform to FACTORY profile with any TEAM-desired wings/spoilers allowed to be added.
Make it a no-nonsense run-whatcha-brung series that ENCOURAGES innovation, not one that stymies it.
If ya can't afford to compete, get the H out !
If ya can't take the heat (danger) get the H out of the kitchen.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
