Some long awaited changes. I like the qualifying change....

Testing: Cup teams will get 200 tires (50 sets) for testing at non-NASCAR sanctioned tracks.

Qualifying: Teams not guaranteed a starting spot [non top 35 in owners points] will qualify together at the end of a session [starting at California].
Fines: Fines levied by NASCAR will now go toward charity instead of going back to the teams in the season-ending point fund.

Pit Road: Teams can't roll tires back to the pit wall during a pit stop. Crews can't push a car on pit road more than three pit stalls.
Fuel Cell: All three national series will run the same up-graded fuel cell [approx 17 gallons], the same fuel cell used in 2007 by the Sprint Cup Series.

they aren't drastic changes, but pit stops should be a little more interesting now that the tire changers have to carry the used tires back to the pit wall.

i think that qualifying all the "go or go homers" together is a very good change. same track conditions for each. no advantage

yeah, they only need to compete with each other instead of the whole field. they can do that on race day.

i still think the top 35 rule needs to be changed. i would make it the top 30 at the most. gives some of the lower teir teams a chance to make more races.

that would definitely make things a little more interesting, but i'm not sure how all the teams would react to that.

who cares.. a lot of this is for the FANS... i think NASCAR has lost site of that lately
