NASCAR: eh, we'll repair the track in the middle of the race
no time to inspect and fix it before the race?!
just tuned in, and i see that they are fixing the track. ummm....couldn't we do that before the race started? they put in a new field for the super bowl, basketball courts are regularly replaced. new pitches for soccer before big matches....only NASCAR puts their show on TV racing on a ragged out track. where did all that TV money go? |

They just announced a few days ago they are going to reconfigure and repave the track. They tried to do it a few years ago but drivers asked them to hold off.

I was never a fan but you can’t help but know about NASCAR. I can’t think of any motorsport that took a bigger -and faster- downward turn than NASCAR. It was seemingly everywhere, then suddenly nowhere and everyone hated it.

And NASCAR seems tone deaf about the decline and is in denial.

Drivers and crews would stay in the same hotels as the rest of us. I remember riding the elevator with several in the old days. You would go into a restaurant and one or more would be a the table beside of you. I enjoyed it from the '70s-1980ish and lost interest. Then, started getting into it again from about 1998-2005. Lost all interest after that. They don't race anymore. Plenty are out there just to run around for several hrs., advertising their sponsors. They drive fast...they just don't race though. I also could no longer identify with their $30 million a yr., incomes. I was also a huge fan of F1, NHRA, ALMS, and a couple others. They have ruined those series almost as badly, as NASCRAP. I don't follow any of it anymore and for almost the last decade. |

NASCAR should be rolling in the dough, now that they've rid themselves of all those beer swilling, Confederate flag waving good ol' boys that used to be their fanbase. |

Probably in the minority here, but this season NASCAR has been more interesting for me than the previous ten. The 1.5 mile tri-ovals are still a bore fest. But, they competed on dirt, have added more road courses and actually put racing back in the mix. I still don't like the "playoff" format for racing. Every other series I know of, even the ones I raced, are based on a long campaign of strong racing. That is a really hard thing to do and should be the mark of a champion.

If your name is Pemberton or France, and you are involved with any part of NASCAR management, then you should be taken out and shot. The cars they drive should all be crushed. And if you ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin'
