NASCAR Is Changing the Superspeedway Package. Will It Actually Work?

NASCAR is changing the superspeedway package to create more passing, but Dale Earnhardt Jr. says everyone may need to give it some grace if the fix does not work immediately. Right now, drivers spend huge portions of superspeedway races saving fuel because less fuel on pit road means a shorter stop. Once every team learned how to play that game, doing anything different became almost impossible. Dale explains why the one-lug pit stop changed the strategy, what NASCAR is trying to accomplish with the new superspeedway package and why the fuel-saving problem may not disappear completely. He also reacts to Marcus Smith joining the CARS Tour ownership group alongside Dale Jr., Kevin Harvick and the rest of the group. Dale breaks down how the partnership could create a clearer path from Legends cars into late model racing and give the CARS Tour more resources to improve its race weekends. The changes may work. They may not. But Dale believes NASCAR deserves credit for taking the risk instead of leaving superspeedway racing exactly where it is.
