I hear ya though, the single file restarts are pretty boring. Formula 1 uses single file too. The main concern is that the F1 and IndyCar cars accelerate so fast that inexperienced drivers would spin their tires and take out the entire field. Everything happens much faster in an IndyCar and F1 car than they do in NASCAR, and in open wheel racing, they can't bump the car in front of them if that car doesn't accelerate with the rest of the field.

If they can start the race 3 wide at Indy - how come they can't do a double file restart?

If the drivers are so inexperienced that they can't handle a simple restart - maybe they shouldn't be allowed to drive in the race.

Just a thought....

As for the Danica crash, she made a mistake. All drivers make mistakes. Truth be told, Danica hasn't actually caused very many accidents. But granted, she also isn't running up front.

Ricky Stenhouse will win the Rookie Of The Year, unless of course NASCAR decides to change the criteria this year, at the last minute, to allow the fans to vote. Wouldn't surprise me if they did. They need to "make history" with Danica, because it means millions of dollars in promotions.
Lord help us if they try and do that...

The sooner she's out of NASCAR and back with the Indy Car crowd the better!
