STOP N GO NASCAR EYES TALLADEGA PRACTICE PLAN
Davin Poote argues NASCAR should cancel second round qualifying to allow full practice time at Talladega. He notes Friday two hour session will set the field, with two laps on the clock, and racing rules will alter handling in the draft. With IROC Grand National races on Saturday, a 1 p.m. final session limits set up time and past rain outs have reduced happy hours. He urges at least one hour on race day if practice time is shortened to avoid teams guessing on car setups.
