First of all I'm not a fan of NASCAR. But, even more importantly, it's all about Danica....just can't stand to listen to all the hype

NASCAR is interesting but pretty boring to watch.
I'd like to see them return to their roots and race real modified stock cars, meaning buy a car off the show room floor and modify suspension, engine, tires and go race Ford against Chevy sort of thing. I'd also like to see them do it in the rain. The Euro Sports Sadan racing kinda is what I mean. Run heats and eliminations to see who's the best driver and has the right equipment, don't leave it up to who survives the series of crashes that eliminate possibly the better car. The attaction to NASCAR is and aways will be the accidents, and they pretty much have figured out how to protect the drivers enough so that there can now be more accidents. The bump drafting with restrictor plates pretty much couldn't happen if the driver protection for the unavoidable accidents wasn't there. |
