The Cup Series veteran has become loquacious on social media lately, and his trio of thoughts this week on how <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/tag\/nascar\/\">NASCAR<\/a> should be drawing inspiration from Formula 1 qualified as close to spot-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an aside, Harvick could land a new gig after retirement. The 2014 Cup Series champion hasn\u2019t been holding back, making him perfect for the TV studio on telecasts and maybe even the booth during races. Unless, of course, NBC or Fox execs value their relationships with the NASCAR brass more than they value blunt opinions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kevin-harvick-decisions-don-t-have-to-be-immediate-just-correct\"><strong>Kevin Harvick: Decisions don\u2019t have to be immediate, just correct<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">All of these situations should be handled during the race.

Aside from more blowouts than Super Bowls in the \u201880s and \u201890s, the big issue was <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/william-byron-overpaying-his-foolishness-and-nascar-sloppiness\/\">William Byron knocking Denny Hamlin into the infield<\/a> during a caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASCAR did nothing at the time, explaining afterward that officials missed it while attending to establishing the race order and other tasks triggered by the yellow. Still, it was a lengthy caution, during which Hamlin and his crew chief were clearly upset. In all that time, NASCAR couldn\u2019t figure out what transpired and how to fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe cameras and the monitors that we\u2019ve got, we dedicate them mostly to officiating and seeing our safety vehicles and how to dispatch them,\u201d NASCAR senior VP of competition <a href=\"https:\/\/nascar.nbcsports.com\/2022\/09\/26\/long-nascar-needs-to-quickly-correct-officiating-issues-from-texas-denny-hamlin-william-byron-tyler-reddick\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scott Miller said<\/a>. \u201cBy the time we put all those cameras up (on monitors), we don\u2019t have room for all of the in-car cameras to be monitored.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The officials never saw the incriminating footage from inside William Byron\u2019s Chevy until the race resumed. That was too late to send the \u201c24\u201d to the back of the field or hold him for one or two laps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That admission rankled Harvick on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll of these situations should be handled during the race,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cJust like F1 \u2018under investigation\u2019 works at any point of the race, you issue a penalty and move on. That way when you \u2018don\u2019t see it\u2019 you can still handle during the event.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harvick is right.

It\u2019s not much of a break, but the mandated time off does give players time to get over the first wave of bumps and bruises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Formula 1 goes big when it comes to time away. The single weeks off between many races don\u2019t do much for support staff since they\u2019re often hauling equipment between continents and setting up elaborate team operations suites. However, F1 also carves out a month in the middle of summer, during which the sport shuts down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By comparison, NASCAR schedules 36 points races and the All-Star Race in a 38-week window. While teams mostly return home for a few days between races, it\u2019s still a demanding grind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShould be a two week break with a mandatory shut down of the shops for one week,\u201d Kevin Harvick <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KevinHarvick\/status\/1574430886614949888?s=20&amp;t=wQJ1YZY940-E52go0IVVbA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tweeted<\/a> this week. \u201cRight now we work everyone into the ground and a set week for them to plan around with their family would be a big deal.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are there too many long races?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Should be a two week break with a mandatory shut down of the shops for one week.

Later, though, he reconsidered and thought the historic Southern 500 at Darlington could remain intact. It\u2019s unclear whether Harvick would also grant the tradition-rich Coca-Cola 600 a waiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only six races on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nascar.com\/nascar-cup-series\/2023\/schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2023 schedule<\/a> will go 500 or more miles. Dropping one Talladega race down to 400 miles and giving Texas Motor Speedway the death sentence wouldn\u2019t be horrible ideas, but Harvick\u2019s real quibble should be with all the 400-milers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why do two races apiece at Kansas, Las Vegas, and Atlanta cover the same distance? Drop some of the 13 total races down to a Phoenix-like 300 miles and tinker with stage lengths, forcing teams to reconsider fuel and tire strategies. On weekends when Xfinity and\/or truck series teams are also there, fans might embrace the change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Like <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sports7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Sports7<\/em><\/a><em> on Facebook.
