Denny Hamlin believes NASCAR's stage lengths are limiting how much tire wear can influence the racing at intermediate tracks

On Actions Detrimental, Hamlin explained that drivers know they can typically make it through a stage without pushing their tires beyond roughly 40 laps, reducing the need to make difficult decisions about when to pit, arguing that longer stretches of green-flag racing could create more strategic choices and allow tire degradation to play a bigger role in the outcome

He suggested adjusting stage lengths to encourage more variation in pit strategy and give drivers more opportunities to gain ground as their tires wear out
