When I was a kid/teenager I followed NASCAR really close. My dad and I watched every race each season and attended several in person.
I (and we) began losing interest as they started bringing in more rule changes and making the cars more uniform. I more or less stopped following it a season or so after they changed the name from Winston Cup. My understanding is that the trend has continued and they've tried hard to make it appeal to a wider audience with the Chase thing. What's this 'contender round/eliminator round' stuff about? |

As for the rest of it, if they didn't do what they're doing they'd have the $4T teams (like my own HMS) wiping-up the track with the $1M teams. There's a lot more to it than that, but most of it, how do you get 43 cars out there, many of which have a real shot to win? And, like any other sport, they want to make sure "the gear" is about as equal as you can get so that it's the drivers and pit crews winning the races, not the car with 300HP more than the rest. So it's just a matter of limits. Add to it they added safety they're looking to infuse into the sport, and you get an added layer. That being said, I think we all wish they'd get rid of the restrictor plates. Let them rip! |

If SPRINT spent more time making a network that doesn't suck than advertising they might not be laying-off so many people...

Wow.... NASCAR will be lucky if folks don't end up racing with rentals at the rate they're going through cars in this qualifying format!

This group qualifying it's utterly stupid. Difference is, Nascar does not control the views or opinions of the drivers like the NFL does its players, yet.

The drivers should all band together and have everybody run one 5 minute lap.

I wonder what would happen if somebody backed all the way down pit road. What happens to the sensor...

What's gay about this is that not only will a LOT of cars get torn up, in Daytona all that matters is getting in, but the 30th lap it won't matter where you started.

LOL, now cars that are out of it are going to start blocking for their team mates. I like it!!! so those with provisionals might never even try, just help their friends who don't have provisionals get in by blocking.
I think Mr. France has some work to do to fix this mess they invented! |
