The pre-race buzz is understandably high for the double-file re-starts NASCAR is implementing in the Sprint Cup Series Sunday at Pocono, Pa.
But the real story isn’t so much the exciting midseason change in format, but NASCAR’s willingness to make a midseason change in format.
Say what you want about stock car’s benevolent dictatorship, but in the last few years, the hard-line has been replaced with the open-line. And NASCAR’s willingness to adapt — in the name of more exciting competition — may be the very thing that keeps it relevant and afloat in these tricky economic times.
