Although I will watch every minute of this dog and pony show, I don't like it. The best format for The Winston would be an Australian pursuit. In this race, all entrants draw from a hat for starting position. They start single file, and after the green flag falls, if a driver is completely passed by a competitor who started behind them, they are eliminated. The race continues until there is one car left or a pre-determined number of laps are finished.
Every pass is vital and every lap is run as hard as possible.
All the money is paid to the winner and I guarantee all the drivers would run every lap like nobody has ever seen. Talk about bragging rights. Now that would be a race, not just an event. Nazareth There will be two real races on TV this weekend and one that is always a great race is the Busch Series at Nazareth. While the media guide only lists four turns on this one-mile track, the drivers say you have to turn seven or eight times each lap.
