It stinks as it now stands.70 to 80 lead changes or not.

Then rig it for him next year.....<br /><br />If they want to save the sport that is. Attendance is pathetic....Did anyone see the 'dega race? some of these tracks are running at 1/2 capacity and Nascar does not divulge the true numbers...But the sport is hurting....<br /><br />Sponsors are not walking away, they are running away! There are going to be some fairly big name racers next season without a full season ride...<br /><br />I mean think about it....The points leader drives a car that fields different sponsors...That would have been unheard of just 5-10 years and now it is common place.<br /><br />I was just kidding a bit about little E winning the chase as that is not happening, but it would highly benefit the entire sportWakerofferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235064126172470128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278859251538653499.post-36202350908968300702011-10-29T10:43:53.452-07:002011-10-29T10:43:53.452-07:00opinionated - Junior won so many plate races becau...opinionated - Junior won so many plate races because DEI had a gimmick - aero work in the transmission tunnel of their cars; once everyone else figured out what they were doing they caught up and made Junior irrelevant. <br /><br />BLOVE1130 - you're not going back to old-age drafting, you're going back to cars that can't stay out of the fencing. The sport can never go back to 1980s drafting; it has to stay where it is now because the drivers will never let go of the superdrafts - NASCAR thought the 5&5 rule would make them lift for the corners; they didn't, and they won't let go of the superdraft no matter what shock package or spoiler they try. Robin Pemberton clearly knows this, hence his remark that they don't want the cure to be worse than the disease.Monkeesfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14522953722006761283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278859251538653499.post-90337206387169560212011-10-29T10:39:43.382-07:002011-10-29T10:39:43.382-07:00Junior is obviously oblivious to racing reality. ...Junior is obviously oblivious to racing reality. The idea of cutting spoilers is the Been There Done That failure called the 5&5 Rule, and the idea that they should create aeropush for these cars? How idiotic can he be? NONE of what he's recommending has ever produced better or safer racing. The 1998-2004 spoiler wasn't smaller than what we have now, Junior.<br /><br />This is why drivers need to be made to shut up and race, because the racing says what is right and wrong and it always disproves the pet theories of people - the 5&5 Rule proved cutting downforce and lowering the back deck of the cars is a recipe for failure. <br /><br />It's time the racers accept what the racing now is - 72 lead changes at Talladega is superior to anything else. It's what all the racing needs.Monkeesfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14522953722006761283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278859251538653499.post-35414425270882477902011-10-29T08:43:05.159-07:002011-10-29T08:43:05.159-07:00People wonder why Junior won so many plate races. ...People wonder why Junior won so many plate races. Because he knows what the heck he's talking about. NASCAR should listen to him. NASCAR has pretty much destroyed racing as hardcore race fans are concerned. Now we take what they give us because we don't have anything else. I think I have been pretty much done watching complete races for about three years now. I watch the first 10 laps, and the last 10 laps. I don't even do that anymore on plate races. I just log in to NASCAR.COM to get the results.opinionatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814475744782117432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278859251538653499.post-23948604264526148802011-10-29T02:33:54.757-07:002011-10-29T02:33:54.757-07:00I agree with what he is saying.

With that being said you could then give them more powerBLOVE1130https://www.blogger.com/profile/05260738328136802703noreply@blogger.com
