When will the All Stars move into the 21 st century and keep the lapped traffic out of the way so the fastest cars are in a position to win....?

Gee, and 2 years ago folks complained when the WoO decided to move all lapped cars to the rear of the field. IMO, you have to pass cars, even lappers. After all, the leader had to pass them, didn't he? Why should others get a free pass when the leader didn't?
Maybe we should ask the All-Stars and the WoO to run all the races as Australian Pursuits - you know, where the last car on each lap drops off the race track and lets the others race....
Oh, it is called RACING, isn't it?

Every so often a rule change makes sense, and this one did. Put the lapped cars at the tail. Schatz had a clear track for several laps, when the yellow came out he didn't! I'm sure second and third probably had cars between them too. This rule let's the fans see a good finish. If he was good enough to be in the lead, he'll be good enough to stay in the lead. If you're gonna keep the lappers in between, have the leader pull off the race is usually over, let the rest of them race for second!

If they can't overtake the slow cars - how do you expect him to pass the fast cars?!?

Racing isn't just about a race for the lead. They are racing for all 24 positions. Everyone is so caught up in watching for a pass for the lead that they miss the best race of all back in 7th. If the leader has to pass lappers, everyone should have to pass lappers. Wonder when we will a second or third place car spin a lapper with 4 laps left to have them all sent to the tail?

Dumbest rule WoO ever enforced. Like someone above said. If the leader had to pass them and work hard to do so, why shouldn't those behind him have to do the same. Just like their stupid dash rules. Take for instance Jason Myers, 2nd quick tonight and has to start 8th in the dash? Your penalized for qualifying good. Bunch of yahoo's running this organization in my opinion.
