Opinions Vary On Wisdom Of Double-File Restarts

When TV announcers first blathered on about NASCAR’s “Shootout Style” double-file restarts as if the concept was brand new, hard-core racers everywhere laughed, knowing the Cup drivers all learned to race that way. Then the trend hit World of Outlaws sprint-car racing, where all but the original starts have traditionally been single-file, and laughter morphed into complaints. But by mid-season, most WoO regulars had grudgingly accepted the format, espousing the standard lines “it’s good for the fans” and “we’ve gained on some and lost on others” when queried about the change.
