Keep or Rid?

After last week's Budweiser Shootout (which I attended, my first NASCAR event ever), Kyle Busch asked on Twitter:

@KyleBusch Kyle Busch

Well thats not the best of nites. Hope we got the bad luck outta the way for next week. What'd u guys think of the 2 car draft? Keep or rid?

This is in regards to the new style of racing seen that night, in which the new pavement and cool temperatures at Daytona provided enough grip for two cars on the same team to essentially push each other ahead, reaching speeds of around 206 mph. This led some purists to cry foul, as this is "cheapening" the sport.

Kyle Busch himself didn't seem to be a huge fan of this, as he wrecked out about midway through the race while being pushed by teammate Mark Martin. He reached out to see the opinion from fans, and if it would be enough to call for a change. NASCAR already called for the removal of an airhose that kept engines from overheating while drafting this way, which reduces the time drivers will use this method in next week's Daytona 500, in which NASCAR desperately needs a good showing.
