Statement from TMS President Gossage on NASCAR overtime

he following is a statement from Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage about today’s announcement from NASCAR regarding a new overtime system and other competition changes to be used in all Sprint Cup, XFINITY and Camping World Truck Series races.
 
“As the biggest race fan in Texas, I love the new NASCAR Overtime procedure. Let’s line them up and turn them loose, give them a chance to race through at least the first couple of turns and halfway down the backstretch before it’s an official race finish. And if they can’t get that far before the yellow comes out, let’s line them up again and again and again until it’s a clean run. Man, this is like trying to stuff 50 pounds of excitement into a 10-pound bag. How can any fan not like this?”
