J S  What do you prefer day or night races?

D C  Night. Nothing beats the action under the lights

J S  Do you like the new rule changes so far put in place?

D C  Qualifying rules started last year stink. Most other rules seem flexible depending on the sanctioning body

J S  Do you like the tough competion during the chase?

D C   Any playoff format brings the best out of the competition

J S  What is your opinion on how to improve NASCAR?

D C   All drivers must pick a series to run in for points. That are allowed to run in other series, but no points or check for winning

That way more younger / newer drivers will be in the races since teams won't want to "throw cars away" racing for just the trophy It will still be additional seat time, plus they all claim they do it for the fun of the sport. Of that's true, come race

D C  Change in the sport would be to get back to some of the older/smaller tracks where the sport started


J S  How would you make it more better for the fans?

D C   Most local tracks have a meet and greet session before the race, NASCAR could do something similar instead of the intro parade
