With Michigan being a superspeedway will the draft help keep the field close?

Question

Or will it be another "gimme clean air an I'm gone" sort of race? I'd like to see the top 5 within a couple of seconds of each other, not 2 seconds between each driver!

Answer 1

Thanks to the piece of c**p COT, it's going to be a fuel  mileage/pit strategy race. There will be no passing. Follow the leader.

Answer 2

It will be a snoozefest until we turn right next week.

Answer 3

I think it will be a lot like last week. Leader will have a big lead, so other teams will have to resort to pit strategy again. The pit strategy played out last week might have been a little confusing, but at least the race wasn't a follow the leader snooze fest.

Answer 4

I think the 3 racing grooves there, will help keep it intresting.

Answer 5

No, the field will definitely get spread out.  It will look like all the other races, which isnt a bad thing.  But no, it isnt going to race anything like Daytona and 'Dega.  The draft will help a touch on the straightaways but clean air will be crucial like everywhere else.

Answer 6

I like the racing at Michigan.  Tight packs means little driver input. If I wanted all the races to be tight packed Id suggest racing at Dega every week of the season.

Answer 7

Michigan always gets strung out and the COT is not going to make that any better.  If anything, it will make it worse.

California was similar and you didn't see drafting there.  A lot of rain and a strung out field.
