DAYTONA 500 IS OVER....

I watched the Daytona 500 on Monday. It was the worst Race I have ever seen. I have seen many since the late 1960’s or so.
The pushing by direct contact caused most major wrecks - of which there were many. Somehow the Front and Rear Bumpers were latching together and caused spinouts. In the 1950 -60’s it was common for the 2nd place car on the last lap to touch the rear quarter of the lead car - spin-out and go on to Win. Think Richard Petty.
The multiple attempts for an non- Caution finish also made things worse. As they took out many of the faster lead cars the slower inexperienced Drivers got into the mix.
Without change I would not watch or attend again.

There is one way to put an end to this. End the teams.

One owner, one car allowed.

Like I said, thats just one way to end this.
