NASCAR is one of those unique racing leagues where we witness constant updates implemented to the sport. We got to see this recently as well. The organization has implemented a rather much-needed change as per Dale Earnhardt Jr. While hard-core fans of the sport seem to be skeptical, Dale Jr believes it’s for the greater good.

The last race in the Circuit of The Americas saw the governing body implement a rather controversial move. NASCAR has hit a home run by removing stage cautions to keep the road courses exciting and short for its fans. This meant that stage winners would still get the points, while also not giving up their chances of winning the race. On top of that, this also makes the race strategies interesting.

While the organization’s bold move gave the NASCAR fraternity an eventful race, fans seem divided over the decision.
