  1. no. dover is a hard track. thats just what happens. it rele isnt that hard to make up laps if u r only down 1 or 2.


  2. I have thought about this but it would be an unfair advantage if people could go in the garage for 20 laps and make them all back.

  3. NO! NO! Laps that are gotten back should be earned by passing the leader! I know that it looked bad with only six cars ending up on the lead lap at the finish!

    But think about this, would you want your driver to win a race after being given a lap back for free? I my eyes anyone getting the lucky dog and then winning is a real slap in the face for the other drivers who stayed on the lead lap! This Lucky Dog thing has been a joke all along and no other form of racing does it! Just my opinion!

    EDIT: No that's not technically correct. The cars that went into the pits under green went down one or more laps to the car that stayed on the track! That happens from time to time because of the lap count when the caution came out. The car that stayed on the track picked up all those positions because he was running at speed while the others were not!

    EDIT: BobbyK, we could have taken care of the safety problem by simply freezing the field at the time of caution as we do now. If you were ahead of the leader at the time of caution you would get your lap back!!! The Lucky Dog was added so that more cars would be on the lead lap at the end of the race! And not to mention Arron's pays Nascar to add their name to it! Just another rule that's all about $$$ and not fair racing!!!

  4. No.

    They really need to make some changes to this car though. Only six cars on the lead lap? This is pathetic.

  5. Why? So Junior can get all his laps back?

  6. No. Remember the reason for the lucky dog in the first place? To keep drivers from racing real hard back to the line when we had a yellow flag. I'm with the safety part of it and it's a compromise but we already have more teams getting laps back this way than the "old" way.
