Its philosophy on the sport's competition issues is fundamentally flawed - the efforts from 2004 onward under John Darby have been consistent failures - constant cuts in downforce, tire changes, sway bar changes, the COT, now the Gen-6. NASCAR got it right with the roof blade, then panicked and yanked it off. NASCAR got it right when the tandem drafts unleashed the most lead changes in racing history, but Brian France couldn't leave it alone. <br /><br />NASCAR won't get it right until it gets a package where the draft is more important than handling and we start breaking 40 lead changes on the intermediates with frequency.Monkeesfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14522953722006761283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278859251538653499.post-90887560871583872642013-03-11T05:42:58.043-07:002013-03-11T05:42:58.043-07:00NASCAR had best be careful because it is entering ...NASCAR had best be careful because it is entering very dangerous waters these days. Once upon a time NASCAR could get away with bullying its drivers, crew chiefs and race teams because race tracks were filled with fans, sponsors lined up to be a part of it all and TV ratings were soaring. Now, race tracks are anything but filled, sponsors are either pulling out or pulling back and TV ratings are sinking like a rock in a pond. Now, more than ever, NADCAR needs to become consistent in its rules and far more open to criticism, especially from drivers...or the downward spiral will continue.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11361003139739972118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278859251538653499.post-75144663291911018672013-03-09T08:37:16.398-08:002013-03-09T08:37:16.398-08:00Back in 2006 there were stupid stuff like this goi...Back in 2006 there were stupid stuff like this going on and I lost interest and stopped watching for 3 years. I remember one race at Daytona Carl Edwards had to avoid a wreck and went below the yellow line and NASCAR penalised him for it!!!! I have lost my respect for the officials since then. And now-specially after last hr and its lack of passing, I'm slowly losing interest again. If rather spend my Sundays doing other stuff than give my money to Bruton smith (after kentucky 2011 I will never go to a smith owned race track again) and NASCAR.Devhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13267818998328394325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278859251538653499.post-56976801085536903422013-03-08T15:57:44.528-08:002013-03-08T15:57:44.528-08:00Actually Jim there's another solution that wil...Actually Jim there's another solution that will be increasingly become apparent.
