Maybe they need different cars for different tracks. I like the COT at the short tracks (can handle the banging), not bad at the 1.5 mile tracks where it can slam off the wall and keep going, and even at the super speedways it is not bad.

If you want to run at Indy put the cup car drivers in Indy cars and let them go at it.

This track is just wrong.

I agree with your first statement. It's absurd that NASCAR insists on running the Charlotte race on the same day as Indy. Charlotte should be run on Saturday and Sunday should be open in order to allow the NASCAR drivers to run Indy.

To the second comment, I'm not so sure. They've managed to run for 15 years at Indy without these problems. I would tend to think more that the problem is that Goodyear is becoming a little sloppy in its position as exclusive supplier. How can you not have open testing at the track that hosts the second most important race on your calendar? That's just dumb.

I think the biggest problem is one car simply does not fit all tracks. They could have always made the other cars stronger, but it’s a trade off with handling and speed.

LOL, well we know some of them can drive an open wheeled car, but I think we would have carnage until we got down to that handful. Then we could have a race, if there were any left. :)
