New Rules for a race that basically is just a bit of practice for the 500 as far as the top teams are concerned.....

I will watch, but it isn't a race that anyone really cares about who wins once it is over. Unless of course Jr. wins it, then the Jr. Nation will be in high cotton.....

Makes a helluva lot more sense than 2009's rules. However, i'd just make it Top 25 in driver's points, and past series champs, since the days of pole winners making the race are never gonna come back.

cool :D

They should go back to the original rules, a 25 lap sprint for the previous years pole-winners (or even make it race winners, either way)

Well they have a race for race winners, it's the All Star race in May.

And they can't go back to pole winners because Coors sponsors the pole award program now.

But it should still be a single sprint race, none of this segment crap.

EDIT: Or possbily some kind of timed race.
