Was the Allstate 400 the Worst Cup Event of 2008?
In pre-race practice, teams realized that the tires provided for the race wore down quickly, due to the abrasive course at Indianapolis and the Car of Tomorrow, as this was the first race for the car at Indianapolis. Because of this concern, NASCAR announced that they would have a competition yellow after ten laps to check tire wear.
Yes, by a long margin. Not only did the constant cautions prevent good racing, they prevented anyone from making any progress towards the front to catch the leaders. I felt sorry for the people at the track. I could at least change the channel and catch up on my reading during the numerous cautions.
Can’t say I disagree with you Stewart.
It was a combination of not enough testing by both GY and NASCAR and a very abrasive track surface.
