    Kill Stage Racing Cautions

    NASCAR correctly removed stage cautions from road courses. Points are still awarded but predetermined pit stops have been removed. Fans rejoiced. Now, it's time to take the next step. Award stage points at all track types but remove the cautions. Force the drivers to race, and not nurse their car to the stage break caution.

    Take a look at Phoenix 2023 Race (lap times — https://tinyurl.com/3h38eac3)

    Stage 1 at Phoenix — in the new racing package — witnessed a severe drop off in speed during stage 1. It wasn't due to tire wear or handling, it was a lack of competitiveness. The drivers nursed their cars to the end of the stage because they could. They drove but didn't race. Is that what we want? Predetermined cautions facilitate lap turning. This is not a compelling sport.











    Compare those laps to another projected 60-lap run in Stage 3









    Do we want better racing? Do we want competitive battles? With the current rules, drivers give less than 100% for the majority of the race. It's not because they do not care. It's strategic. NASCAR stage cautions incentivize lap turning. 

    Predetermined cautions work in grass roots racing for multiple reasons: shorter tracks and limited resources. Neither are true of NASCAR. The elimination of caution breaks at the road courses will be a hit. It's time for NASCAR to take the next step. Eliminate stage cautions but still award the points at all tracks.

    Fantasy NASCAR Picks — Phoenix Cup Series New Package Projections

    How will the new package affect DFS NASCAR picks at DraftKings? I'm not an engineer but I will pretend. We're going to hear a lot about less downforce. The natural tendency will be to trust data from lower downforce packages at Phoenix (2021, 2020, 2018, 2017, and 2016).

    Notice that 2022 is absent from that list. That package increased downforce, and it increased downforce differently (underbody vs. spoiler). The downforce up or down generalization is going to be egregiously oversimplified at Phoenix.
