!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! There will be a caution every 20 minutes? Because why? For TV? Isn't the R in NASCAR for racing?

God Damn It, I actually like the Truck series. I used to like the truck series this is bullshit. This ruins the whole race until after the last yellow.

The only reason I can think of for this is to bunch the field back up to make things more “exciting” for the viewer. It also throws strategy out the window, potentially will make the races longer than they already are, and possibly cause more wrecks.

Rubbish.

Wow. They say it’s “just like a shot clock, or halftime in other sports”

Just like the break/halftime in a marathon. Got it.

Because Bubba needs a beer every twenty minutes. You wouldn't want him to miss anything, would you? Actually, perhaps Bernie should consider this for F1.

Seems stupid, but I'd like to know what the current average time between cautions is before I pass complete judgement.

Are they taking ideas from Bernie? At least in the F1 circus most people know not to take his silly ideas too seriously.

As long as Brian France continues to get rich he doesn’t give two shits what he does to the sport his dad/grandpa worked so hard to build.
