00:00 the restart zone being moved between turns 13 and 14 to hopefully spread the field out before you get to turn one
00:06 Try to eliminate that carnage daniel suarez thinks that'll fix maybe 70 to 80 percent of the problems going into turn one
00:12 What's just your thoughts on at least attempting to move the restart zone and try to calm down?
00:17 Um what we've seen going into turn one the last couple years. Yeah, I think that's pretty fair honestly
00:21 um, yeah, you pretty much have to save us from ourselves because um, you know, these cars are really resilient the nose and tails are really strong
00:29 and um
00:30 you know, it's if it's
00:32 We we we restart or start from where we have here in the past the two times that we've done this
00:38 Um, it's just so tempting to try and out break the other car and the next thing you know
00:42 You're eight wide and there's no room and to turn one. So I think it's the right move
00:46 Honestly, I felt like you know, even at chicago it was damp and it was single file
00:51 if you still um
00:53 Had a good enough awareness of where your braking markers were you could still pass going into the corner even single file
00:58 So I think you'll still see plenty of racing on the restarts. It'll just be a little bit more
01:02 um, I guess uh
01:04 A little bit just a little bit more. Uh
01:07 Cat no, it'll just be not not as chaotic I guess and that's I think what we need
01:11 We don't need
01:12 You don't want to see guys that are in there that have been running in the top five all day just getting wiped out because someone
01:17 From 15th decides to you know, jam it in there
