| It's been a pretty wild Speedweeks and we're not even into the Duels yet! What are your thoughts on things so far? How'd you feel about the Unlimited? Should the qualifying format be changed? And how about Gordon on the pole? | |

| The group qualifying format needs to go for ovals. Especially on superspeedways, it creates this problem where everyone waits until the last possible moment to go out and turn a lap in a large pack and things like the Bowyer/Sorenson incident can happen. I would prefer to go back to the qualifying system we had prior to this (the traditional two laps with the best one counting), but I doubt Brian France will change as this creates tension and excitement, bringing in ratings, which seem to be what he prefers over putting out a quality product of racing and competition anymore. | |

Fixed I agree, but I'd rather see single-car runs come back for the ovals, too. | |

| Me personally, I'd rather see group Q at Superspeedways and Road Courses, single car for Speedways and Short Tracks. | |

Is the series in witness protection or something completely changing names every few years? | |

| Didn't watch the race, wasn't home, but just heard who won!  EDIT: Just watched the finish, what's with the commentators being so damn boring this year? Final lap and they're showing as much emotion as I do for AERS races... | |

| Pretty good race overall, was pulling for Truex Jr. near the end but Logano is fine with me, Never felt too strongly about him one way or the other as opposed to my dislike of Johnson and some others up at the front. | |

| The 500 had the best first 198 laps I could ever have dreamed of. Wish Allgaier hadn't spun so it could have finished under green. Oh yeah, and Gordon getting spun at the end wasn't that great to watch...
Happy for Logano, though. Overall, my favorite 500 in a couple years.

| Outside of Gordon getting 7nd that's one of the best I've seen in a while. | |
