From NandoNet: NASCAR appears determined to break up the 30-car packs that routinely buzz around the tracks in the restrictor-plate races at Daytona and Talladega. The exact solution still is uncertain, but a change is expected to be in place in time for next year’s season-opening Daytona 500. Just do not expect that change to include the removal of the speed-reducing restrictor plates. “NASCAR wants to break the drafting up, get us back to running six- and eight-car drafts,” driver Jimmy Spencer said. “They’ve been working hard on that, trying to come up with a solution for it. I think you might see rule changes (announced) toward the end of the year for 1998(6-27-97)
