Here is what the drivers should have done

#1

That should have gotten together before the race, after the bullshit speech
from Mike Helton, and decided to do this:

When the pace car pulled off, stayed at the pace speed and lined up in
order, nose to tail.

JJ leads the first lap, then pulls down and drops to the back.
Mark Martin takes the second lap, still at pace car speed, then drops to
the back.

Continue through the field 4 times at this rate, letting everyone lead.

This will guarantee no bump drafting.

After, let's see, 4x43 = 172 laps let them then begin "racing" if they
still feel like it.

By now, the crowd has left the track, the network is furious because it has
tied up a full day of broadcast time without advertising to offset the
cost, and let's see if NASCAR is happy...

Then maybe, just maybe, they will start to see things from the FANS
perspective....

That day is quickly approaching and I want to see Helton's expression
when it does.Maybe have Mark Martin stand up at the drivers meeting
and tell Helton that all 43 teams are gonna sit this one out.

That day already happened 40 years ago when Richard Petty stood up and told Bill France that he and

his fellow drivers refuse to race because they thought it was too dangerous.
Guess what happened.... Big Bill found other drivers who were willing to race that weekend.

Is anyone else here old enough to remember scab-football?
Personally, I rather liked it. It's was still football.
