In the garage area, there was widespread speculation Sunday morning as drivers and teams tried to absorb Saturday night’s wackiness that NASCAR will make some sort of rule or procedural change no later than Wednesday in another attempt to change the face and pace of racing on DIS’ repaved course.ĭrafting speeds soared over 206 miles per hour during the Shootout, a frantic race won at the last instant by Kurt Busch.
