Double File Restarts Are Here

June 5th, 2009

It’s about time.

In a midseason attempt to add some excitement to Cup racing, NASCAR has moved to double-file restarts beginning with this weekend’s race at Pocono Raceway.

“We’ve heard the fans loud and clear,” NASCAR chairman Brian France said Thursday. “Double-file restarts, shootout-style are coming to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. This addition to the race format is good for competition and good for the fans.”

The first- and second-place drivers will line up side-by-side as the green flag drops for each restart. The former restart procedure had lap-down cars on the inside, and the lead-lap cars on the outside for the restarts.

Technically, in another inconsistent move, NASCAR actually listened to the fans. This inconsistency just happened to work out in everyone’s favor this time.
