🗣 'It’s like a roll of the dice if that restart is gonna work out for you or not' 😬 Ryan Blaney adds his voice to those drivers questioning double-file restarts at some road courses on the NASCAR Cup schedule 👇
Team Penske’s Ryan Blaney has added his voice to those drivers questioning double-file restarts at certain road courses on the NASCAR Cup schedule.Blaney, who was one of those punted into a spin soon after a restart in the closing stages at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas, believes there is a better way to avoid the chaotic scenes of the triple overtime attempts on Sunday.“It’s just the Wild West right now on that side at a few of those tracks,” said Blaney.
“We’ve seen that with these restart zones at these tracks – Indy [Road Course] and COTA – of long straightaways leading to a very tight corner and everyone is always on the go button and wanting to make spots. Restarts are the easiest place to make spots and at those places you have to be just a bulldog to make anything up.
“I can’t think that watching the end of that race was very compelling. I mean, there was a lot of drama going on, but, man, it took us a long time to run the final three laps of that thing, and there’s just a lot of people’s drivers getting turned and stuff like that. “Is that the best look for the sport of us jamming it in there five-wide every time and just bumper car-ing each other? No, personally, from a competitor standpoint, I don’t think that’s a good look for the sport.
“The single-file restart is something I’ve been hearing around, and at some tracks I could see it working – like COTA and Indy. [But] it hurts you for sure if you’re 20Photo by: Danny Hansen / NKP /
