Dale Earnhardt Jr. claims that approvals aren’t the problem with new drivers joining the NASCAR Cup Series. Adding complexity to the approval process could be a much simpler option. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is pointing the finger at insufficient practice rather than the approval procedure. Before qualifying, a driver like Katherine Legge was only allowed to practice in the car for a brief forty-five minutes. For a new driver, that is not enough time. A part-time open team doesn’t have enough time to prepare well for a race. Dale Earnhardt Jr. discussed the Legge dispute on this week’s Dale Jr. Download. Or, as it were, the absence of controversy.
“The practice discussion, correct?” “Earnhardt said.” is one that, until perhaps the past 48 hours, hasn’t received enough attention. At Phoenix, Katherine Legge sparked a lot of discussion about the NASCAR driver approval procedure. I don’t believe that the approval procedure has a flaw or an ideal solution. You can probably modify a few things. To be honest with you, I don’t really care about it. A decision will be made, and someone at NASCAR will either say yes or no, and that’s it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. desires additional NASCAR practice
Dale Jr.’s lack of practice is the problem. Additionally, the sport isn’t saving money by skipping long practices.
I think discussing how practice could have aided her and the team in improving the vehicle would further forward that discussion. … Earnhardt went on, “The teams aren’t saving money by not practicing.” “Let’s just assume that the teams are not practicing to the same extent as they did in 2019 and are spending a million dollars less.” They have, however, taken that million and used it elsewhere. They didn’t put it in their pocket or save it. That’s not the situation. In order to practice during the week, they have hired two or three more individuals, as well as additional tools, according to the guys on Door Bumper Clear. The goal of sim, engineering, and anything else is to keep to get better.
It appears to be evident, then. A major component of motorsports is practice. NASCAR has more restrictions on testing and other sessions than any other series. That’s what Dale Earnhardt Jr. wants the discussion to be about, not approvals. “I was annoyed that throughout the entire discussion about Katherine and Phoenix, the approval procedure, and everything else, practice was never mentioned. In any case, I was annoyed that after the Katherine Legge transaction, this discussion was taking so long. However, after that, it began to gain some momentum.
