Pocono loses it's July/August date, the slot is given to Chicagoland.

The chase opener vacated by Chicagoland goes to Las Vegas. The awards banquet is held in Vegas so it makes sense, also Vegas has been craving a 2nd date, puts butts in the seats, and has provided quality racing since the track was modified.

Remove New Hampshire's September date, reward it to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Shorten Pocono's remaining date to a 400 mile event

Take a date from Kansas, reward it to Darlington. Put the 2nd Darlington race in the Labor Day weekend slot. Darlington's May Date becomes a 400 mile race, the Southern 500 goes back to its traditional Labor Day slot. Put the Atlanta date in Kansas' June date.

Remove the June date from Michigan, reward it to Iowa Speedway.

Other changes;

Put the Chase for the Cup back to ten drivers. Having twelve drivers in the chase is rewarding mediocrity as Tony Stewart once put it.

If rain effects qualifying, allow the remaining cars to attempt to qualify the following day.

Nascar on Fox to drop the digger gimmick.

Do something to ensue full time Cup drivers aren't winning the Nationwide Series Championship every season. As to how to do that I have absolutely no idea.

I definitely agree with getting rid of these guys. Perhaps making a rule that if you have won five Cup races, you can no longer race in the Nationwide series or only have limited participation (2-3 races a year).

Bring back the older tracks in the Southeast, especially Rockingham and North Wilkesboro. NASCAR alienated its die-hard fanbase and seems to have forgotten its roots in recent times.

Run every event like they run the Shootout in Charlotte. Heats of 20-50 laps IMO are much more interesting and makes the sport watchable as opposed to the long, drawn out 4 hour marathons.

- Have only one race at Pocono, and make it 400 miles

- Have only one race at New Hampshire, and make it 350 miles

- Give one date to a road course

- Give the other date to a new short track

- Either make the Chase to 10 drivers or extend the chase to 12 races

- Eliminate Talladega from the Chase

- Bring the Chase to Nationwide, however, Cup regulars cannot participate in it

- Have separate heat races for Cup regulars in Nationwide. That way, the fans will still come.

- Tweak the points system so that no points are earned after a certain position (to discourage junked cars from returning)

Yea i do like the idea of cutting the races a bit shorter. Not only would it makes the drivers " race" every lap, like they do in the shootout. To often I hear drivers say they were just hanging back and waiting. Plus it would save teams money in the long run cutting cost on fuel and tires.

Let the top 15 drivers make the chase instead of the current 12.

Do away with restrictor plates.

Do away with all the road course races.

Replace road course races with tracks similar to Bristol.

Limit the number of races a Spring Cup driver can enter in the Nextel and Truck series.

    • We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.
    • I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning. 
    • He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
