With all the bad press and negative comments from fans and drivers, would seem that NASCAR has to be well aware of the situation. But, what is the remedy that will satisfy everyone, while maintaining the 1st and highest priority of fan and driver safety, and at the same time not introducing new additional costs to the Teams ?

Can you imagine the Congressional hearings if a race car went into the stands.

A number of possibilities have been mentioned. Another one is to reconfigure the track without the high banking and possibly shorten the straights.

Maybe there are other options on substantially reducing the HP along with tires, spoilers etc, such as the 2 barrel carb used in the regional tracks, cam profiles, compression etc. and use the same configuration at Daytona, i.e. each make has their own spec engine. But, adds cost to the Teams, which at this time many of the Teams cannot afford.

The best driver comment I heard in the past regarding a track was when Kyle Petty was asked what he thought of Bristol ( think I have the right track, 1/2 mile high bank ? ). " Flood it and make it into a fish pond.

Looks like the technology has exceeded the design specs of the track
