I miss the race back to the line too. Although, I think the worst rule is double file restarts after a caution. If you have a car that has run well enough to get to the 15th spot on the lead lap, they can restart in the 30th position and have to work thier way through 15 lapped cars. I really think it hurts the drivers.
Example: Truex Jr. has fairly consistanly run in the top 15 this year. It is almost impossible to move up into the top ten towards the end of the race when half of the field may be a lap down. You have to pass 10 cars to gain five spots and get to the top ten. Many of the tracks are a single groove and that makes passing that many cars a REAL challenge. Especially when you see two lapped cars that were wrecked running side by side and blocking the speedway.
At the begining of a race it is not that big of a deal to see a car come from the back, because they don't have many cars a lap down. So if you pass five cars you gain five positions.
