My thought is that the guy who hits the setup from lap one will win the race. In the past, especially under a yellow, a driver could help the car and them make a race out of it. I feel as though it will hurt the entertainment that racing provides.
Can you provide a source for this, spantytoo? I looked on the USAC website at the rule book, but it has not been updated for 2018 and was last updated ten months ago, but that doesn't mean much to the average joe fan.

If this is happening/has happened, not so much what I think about it, but what do the owners think about it - their response. Were they FOR it? Did this drive it? Seems to me if they were NOT, then USAC would be smart enough to back off on the amendment to the rules. Why anger your own club?
