Just watched the Daytona race on Saturday, and just came back from the Daytona 500, and the new race format is not as bad as I thought it would be, however, it is much more exciting, there were multiple major accidents at both races. While exciting, this knocks out a LOT of race cars, and if the damage is major, they are out for the rest of the race. Jury is still out, need to see a couple of more races.
