NASCAR fans are used to an ever-changing rulebook, but there were certain times when drivers forced NASCAR to change its rules to improve entertainment. The Daily Downforce is here to take us through those moments.

• Ryan Newman won 26 poles in his first three years in the Cup Series, which forced NASCAR to change the gearing allowed in the cars because of Penske’s significant advantage. Do you think this was a good rule change or is dominance more entertaining in the long run?
• In 2004, NASCAR still allowed drivers to race back to the yellow. This was until Jarrett was stranded in the middle of a racetrack with cars flying by at full speed. Is this one of the best roll changes NASCAR has made?
• The identity of the NASCAR Xfinity Series is completely different today than it was 10 years ago when the Cup Series drivers were allowed to race as much as they wanted in the lower series. Kyle Busch is mostly responsible for this role by putting on countless dominating seasons against NASCAR’s up-and-coming stars. Do you think this was a good role change?

Should NASCAR Cup drivers race the Xfinity Series as much as they want? What’s one rule that you would change? Let The Daily Downforce know your thoughts and questions in the comment section.
