I read that on twitter. But you can't believe everything you read. I know for a fact that winged cars don't pass, I read it on this message board several times! What did I say about not believing what you read?

And people say they don't pass with wings. A great show tonight! Tuff luck for little Haud. Would love to see him in a non wing car some.

I am pretty sure there were only two cautions making Pittman's move from 25th all the more impressive.

Actually no, The longer they go green, The easier a better driver or car or both can move forward with the Wing as all the air is dirty.

I still say the heats suck unless you got two grooves wide apart. The leader has clean air the whole race and its Car, fifty feet, Car, fifty feet, Car.

The features can be outstanding if they get long green runs. If a lot of yellows then the majority of passing is on the first lap of a restart.

Thanks Charles. We'll keep that all in perspective.

Going to have to disagree, especially since they have gone to double file restarts. Restarts give the driver the best opportunity to pick off a bunch of cars at once or within a couple of laps. it brings the field back to them. The wild cards are a) risk of tire sealing up, b) driver losing rythem and c) getting caught up in a malee on the double file restart.
