  • A veteran journalist's call to eliminate practice sessions has sparked a clash with Brad Keselowski, highlighting a critical issue for NASCAR's future.

The article from MSN discusses a contentious issue within the NASCAR community regarding the potential elimination of practice sessions. It highlights the debate between maintaining tradition and adapting to modern racing dynamics. Proponents for eliminating practice argue that it would reduce costs for teams, especially smaller ones, by cutting down on expenses related to travel, car preparation, and tire usage. They also suggest that less practice could lead to more unpredictable and exciting races as drivers would have less time to fine-tune their cars. On the other hand, those against the idea emphasize the importance of practice for safety, allowing teams to ensure cars are set up correctly, which could prevent accidents. Additionally, practice sessions are seen as crucial for new drivers to gain experience and for teams to experiment with car setups. The article also touches on how NASCAR has already reduced practice time in recent years, questioning if further reduction or elimination would truly benefit the sport or if it might detract from its competitive integrity.
