I think all the drivers survived, excluding life long concussion problems. Do you always have a caution after each segment or were they just timely wrecks?

the segment thing is new for the 2017 season, and yes, they throw a yellow after one ends

last year Truck had a similar thing they were experimenting with, where after 20 minutes of green flag racing, a caution would be thrown but that's gone now

I find funny that NASCAR both implemented a system which creates cautions while simultaneously creating a rule intended to reduce cautions.

I'm actually liking the first so far. The other is a Brian France Good Idea.

to be honest its weird because I both don't want to agree with a stupid rule, but at the same time, getting cars that are basically wrecked off the track and have no real chance for contention doesn't bug me too much because if you cant get a car fixed and up to regulation speed in 5 minutes of caution means you're a few laps back and essentially out any way

I'm trying to think of the last time a severely wrecked car had any sort of positive impact on a race like that

positive impact. not comedy gold impact like Gordon in Phoenix or Kenseth at Martinsville

You're right what would sped it up was instead of 40 caution laps (80% of which are legitimate and also included a red flag) we had 37 or 38 caution laps instead.

And how many caution laps did we have before that 3rd segment? Sorry stage not segment.

21 laps over 4 yellows and 1 red flag

4 to clean up after the 83 after it tried to pit and then didn't slow down and 7 laps after the #18 wrecked

The other 10 laps and 2 yellows were the caution flags. (6 on segment #1 and 4 on segment #2)

The other 4 cautions and 19 caution laps were in segment 3.

This is something that the new stage format was never going to fix. IMO, the racing got worse as the number of cautions went up because teams were starting to get used to knowing that there would be a caution likely to come. They were content to circulate and tick laps off rather than racing hard to gain as much time as they could. All that time advantage would be lost with an inevitable yellow flag anyway, so there was no point in risking to push it in the beginning or middle stages of a race.

NASCAR really needs to think about what it needs to do to reduce the frequency of cautions. (Their duration isn't as big of a problem for me as long as there aren't so many of them, like I'd expect from a typical Indycar race.) If teams know there are likely to be significant stretches of green flag racing, say 2-4 pits stops between cautions, then you'll sure as hell see harder racing from start to finish.

Instead, the stage format feels like the emphasis will be less on the racing, and more when to take your one pit stop to be sure you're at the front for the last few laps to the stage/race finish. Way to dumb it down there, guys.

the 6 non-competition cautions were brought out mostly because of restrictor plate racing, an idiot, or a tire going down

I posted a tad about it when you asked about Don Lajoie the other day. We had the elf statues the Fairgrounds had at OCFS on top of our grandstands. It was basically an invite only type of place and one of the crown jewels of paved mod racing back in the day. No junk cars, everything was turned out professionally and it was known as a hard to win at place because of that. No field fillers at all. It was about 30 minutes from me by way of I-84, my dad used to go there occasionally.
