It'll be interesting to see if this becomes a thing now. So if you're within a certain distance of the leader, you can catapult around the last corner on the final lap and maybe win, or at least place better.
And if that becomes a thing, then if your the leader, you'd almost have to do the same just to make sure nobody does it to you. Then what if more than one driver driver decides to do it at the same time? Will probably make for some interesting crashes.

That will be a illegal move next year. Already talk the field should have been froze when he started riding the wall. It was a awesome move but I’m thinking it’s one and done.

I watched NASCAR racing since the late 60s, when they started trying to tell me what, and how I should think, is when I said that's enough. I quit watching at that point, and doubt I'll ever attend, or watch another race.
Tony Stewart is now racing in NHRA, he says there is no drama there, no controversy, much more fun for him. That move wouldn't work at all the tracks, because not all the tracks have a wall without any deviation from a smooth curve. Some of the walls vary through the turn. I'm sure that NASCAR will either modify the walls surface, or just flat out make a rule against what happened at Martinsville last week. The track at Darlington was used somewhat the same way, hence the term "Darlington Stripe" used to denote the damage to the right side of the car from riding the wall during the race. |

IF they want to stop it, make the wall like a cheese grater!

If they throw a yellow when he contacts the wall, the field is frozen nullifying any gains. Thing is last week they didn't throw a yellow, so it stood.
It used to be they went back to the previous lap, in short track racing that is how it still is. NASCAR embedded sensors in the tracks and score electronically, so they don't go back to the previous lap, they take a snapshot of where the cars are at the time they throw the flag now, then revert to that lineup for the restart. They make up the rules as they need to, so with that freedom they will stop the rim riding, one way or the other. |

I’m guessing this weeks race will be a ratings winner. I’m also thinking he gets taken out before the race is over and it will oddly enough be the 11 car, talk about ratings.
