THere should be a limit on how many Lucky Dogs a driver can use in one race.

you should only get one lucky dog per race, the rest, you have to earn it back.
but what the hell am I saying, just get rid of this stupid rule and race back to the caution, it should be the leaders decision if he wants to give the lap back or notBrian France is a violation of Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing)

For me the luckiest would be who finished high in points while recieving the most passes. Of the chasers, Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin recieved the most. Because Kyle got so many at the Glen (5?) that would mean Hamlin probably benefitted the most and is the luckiest dog of 2006.

Also, thinking of racing back to the caution, what if NASCAR went to a two tier system. i.e.
debris on track = yellow light, race to the flag
two car crash in turn 4 = red light, slow and hold your position, field frozen
in the rare event there is a serious track blockage a yellow and red together would mean stop right where you are, true red flag.
I don't think it would be difficult to make that kind of snap judgement, they already have to make those judgements anyway on the decision to throw the yellow, this just takes it one step further.¿Quién es el que anda aquí?

its Nascar, everything to them is a very difficult judgement, they would say that the drivers will get confused by it.

I'd say do away with the "Lucky Dog" rule. If you're a lap down, tough noogies, earn it back.
Racing back to the caution was one of the most stupid things that NASCAR was doing. It was way past time to stop that idiotic practice. I can't believe that anyone would seriously want that insanity back.DVR . . . . . Life is too short to watch commercials.
I am from Gran Canaria. I am absolutely convinced that there will be no problem with the rally.
