The Winston is a great race, I can't wait to see it this wednesday.
The problem with the winner take all strategy, is that the teams will push it to the limits to try to win. Lots of wrecked cars, because they are going for broke loose.
The field inversion, has created a situation where nobody will want to be ahead at the end of the second segment next year. You could see the difference with Jimmy Johnson winning this year by hanging back, instead of winning the first two segments the year before.
I think its a great race but it needs a little work.
