Victor Mathews+FollowDarlington Drama: Berry’s Fastest Lap Sparks Rule TalkWild turn at Darlington! After Josh Berry’s early wreck, he came back out and clocked the fastest lap—despite finishing 38th.

Berry, now 19 points below the cut, needs strong runs at Gateway and Bristol to keep his playoff hopes alive. What do you think—should the fastest lap point be limited to lead-lap drivers? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR20Share

What do you all think—would shorter races actually help, or is this just a swing and a miss? #Sports #Racing #F101Share
