[B]1.) ?NASCAR makes more rule changes:

If NASCAR’s objective was to eliminate tandem drafting at restrictor-plate racetracks, it remains a work in progress, based on Thursday’s first Preseason Thunder test session at Daytona International Speedway. Accordingly, in a meeting with crew chiefs at approximately 5:30 p.m. Thursday, NASCAR announced additional modifications to a restrictor-plate competition package that already had undergone major changes in the offseason. Even though Kyle Busch topped the speed chart in Thursday afternoon’s Preseason Thunder test session at Daytona International Speedway at 202.402 mph-in a tandem draft with Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Joey Logano-NASCAR will make the cars faster, less stable and more prone to overheating on Friday. The sanctioning body increased the diameter of restrictor-plate openings 1/32nd of an inch to 15/16ths inches, adding an estimated 26 horsepower to the engines. In addition, NASCAR has lowered the pressure relief valve settings from 30 pounds per square inch to 25 psi and narrowed the grille openings of the cars, thereby decreasing airflow to the engine. Both measures are designed to decrease the number of laps one car can push another without overheating.(Sporting News)(1-12-2012)

2.) ?Drivers prohibited from communicating with each other over radio:

NASCAR has mandated that drivers and spotters will not be allowed to communicate with other drivers over their in-car radios in an ongoing effort to eliminate tandem racing at restrictor plate tracks. The decision was confirmed Thursday as teams prepared for the first of a three-day test at Daytona International Speedway, a tune-up for the Feb. 26 Daytona 500. Over the past few years, as teams have refined their ability to team up with other cars to create more speed, drivers and spotters have had the ability to talk to multiple teams over their radios. They used it to coordinate which cars would pair up and to help drivers switch from pusher to pushee. By eliminating such communication, NASCAR hopes teams will have a more difficult time making deals and remaining in pairs. The driver pushing especially needs this communication because he has little to no visibility. It was so refined that one spotter would communicate for both drivers even if one of the drivers wasn’t with his organization. This is racing’s latest rule change to address the two-car tandem that surveys indicate fans would like to see eliminated.(ESPN)(1-12-2012)

[B][I]They created their own monster themselves by repaving the track. Now they don’t know how to get rid of it. Good for them.

When you try to make things too perfect, that is sometimes what happens, you make things worst.

Is the tandem racing better or worst? Depends who you talk to and what you compare it to. Finishes are wild, but they also were with pack racing. The sling shot pass of the old was good too, but normally did not involve as many cars as the 2 others.

One thing for sure, it gets a lotsa ink and media attention in general, and that is good for racing @ Daytona. Talk good about it, talk bad about it, but talk about it.[/I][/B]
