Early impression vote: Gordon, Gant, Baker, Kulwicki, Stefanik/Rudd; Guthrie.

I wouldn't mind seeing McGriff, Wilson and/or Farmer get in based on their age, though.

Harvick losing 7 playoff points for the window, that's pretty severe.

1 win because the 2nd win doesn't count anymore but either way that's getting in, the harsh part is the playoff points carry through Homestead.

To, not through. You could win every race all year and come in second at Homestead and all those points mean nothing.

Yeah, they can get you in the final but after that it's pure finishing position. The point is playoff points mattered last year when it came to advancing past the cut offs so it's a pretty harsh penalty.

Rain delays in Phoenix?

Also, doing a 1 mile shootout to end stage 2 after a red flag rain delay is an interesting decision on Nascars part, although nothing happened except for Kyle Busch winning stage 2.

I am curious if the 1 or 2 lap end of stage green is something Nascar actually wants to do when there is a late stage caution and they are able to get the green flag out for just 1 or 2 laps before the end of the stage?

Seems like a really good way to tear up some cars in the middle of the race.

Especially with the Xfinity today, they were red flagged and went 1 lap yellow, 1 lap green, end of stage 2 yellow.

Respect the power of the wind
They don't exactly have a formal procedure for late-stage cautions. Knowing NASCAR you know they're not going to end a stage under caution and they'll bend the rules in order to assure that.

They could just finish out the caution as normal, taking as many laps as they need to, and then have a two-lap dash under green to end the stage even if it's a few laps beyond the original scheduled stage ending. Seems simple enough.

Yea it is better. Whoever got me tbe red text must diagree.

I could see them doing a green white end of stage in the future. Would be a lot better than making them do the 1 yellow 1 green on cold tires that had been sitting for a 30 minute rain delay that they did today.

Today was a pretty good race though, especially when Hamlin, Harvick, and Busch were fighting for the lead.

I enjoy that they busted Harvick for possibly cheating last week after dominating 2 races, then he just comes back and wins again anyway.

Losing 7 playoff points not going to matter much if you win every race :smug:

Jimmy John's gotta love having their "freaky fast" car win every week.

Harvick's kind of funny because at about the halfway point in his career he seemed like he'd be going down as an underachiever and now it's "imagine how many wins he'd have if he hadn't stuck with RCR for so goddamn long"
