It was the drivers who asked for the yellow line rule. The problem was that cars were going way down on the apron going down the back straight into turn three (and sometimes into turn one) and when they got to the turn, they had to try to blend back up into traffic, where there may or may not have been room for them.

To do away with the yellow line rule would be a catastrophe.

Hey THE REAL PROBLEM is that Daytona and Talladega are too fast the way they're currently configured and they have to use those damnable restrictor plates. Tear down those high banks and many of the current problems would be solved.
