NASCAR’s new “wave around” policy seemed to go without problems at Pocono. TNT seemed to have a little trouble keeping up with everything that happened under caution and didn’t stress enough that these “wave around” cars were receiving a big gift. After all, they were over 2½ miles behind, then suddenly they were only 100 yards behind.
There appeared to be only a few cars that took advantage of the gift. I think that will change dramatically at a track like Bristol. At Bristol, where many cars go a lap down, we will see many cars take advantage of this racing oddity that NASCAR has invented.
I guess that NASCAR’s ultimate goal is to keep all cars on the lead lap. Is that racing? If that is what fans want then I have totally lost touch. Even if it becomes obvious that this change was a mistake NASCAR will never admit it. We are stuck with it.
