Phil Allaway: I’ve been against the Damaged Vehicle Policy from the moment it was introduced. It is ridiculous and shouldn’t exist. The change should be to abolish it. NASCAR already had rules stating what you could and couldn’t change (engines, mainly) prior to the DVP being created. I always found the whole thing incoherent and completely out of step with the rest of motorsports. Yes, you shouldn’t be changing engines. There should not be backup cars being brought out in the middle of races.
