Smith wants an end to Start-And-Park

If Speedway Motorsports Inc. chairman Bruton Smith ran NASCAR, so-called start-and-park teams would be a thing of the past.

"(Something) that has to be stopped—and I hope NASCAR will do something about it, and I think they will—is start-and-park." Smith said during the announcement of a four-lane NHRA drag racing event, the Four-Wide Nationals, at zMAX Dragway, scheduled for March 25-28. "That's a disgrace to our sport. I haven't understood that yet, but they've learned now that they can make a lot of money by doing that 'cause they're not expending any if they go out and run 10 laps and park. So I hope NASCAR will put a stop to that." Sporting News
