New Nascar rules. [View all]

So far, Nascar's new rules suck! Today's Xfinity race is under it's second red flag, at lap 30 of 120, with 27 cars suffering damage so far. Not sure how many can stay eligible under the new damage repair rules. Having points awarded at two 'stages' prior to the second half of the race, combined with the mandatory caution flags at the end of each stage, is ruining the racing, imo. After all, cautions breed cautions, when the cars get bunched up and every driver tries to get as many positions as quickly as possible before the cars spread out.
