Deciding anything or not is also a decision in itself. Nascar has chosen a course of minimal information to deal with the current safety issues while all the time trying to benefit and maintain from the worst disastrous start of any season since losing Neil Bonnett in 1994. Currently a maze of decisions over the death of Dale Earnhardt has equally created multiple disasters requiring damage control instead of proactive safety progress. If the results of a variety of changes are failing, go back to the set of rules that did work and begin anew. The drivers, teams and sponsors know it too, but worst of all, the fans are realizing the truth behind Nascar's confusing actions, and it's not an easy pill to swallow.
Some decisions can be and have proven disastrous.
Unfortunately, those lead changes are nothing more than shuffling the deck and turning up new cards. Step out of the draft and a driver is sucked back to never-never land until they can be sucked back up front. That's not racing, never will be, although it'll be debated forever, depending on whose level of satisfaction is met. Many drivers have commented on the tension and the stress, and how disasters occur with the smallest mistake. 19 cars paid serious dues in Daytona, particularly Tony Stewart who took the worst ride of his Cup career to date.
