One reason I am getting sick of NASCAR
 
Sunoco is upset because the Shell logos on Harvicks car were too big. :rolleyes:

Provisionals are another reason. Past champions provisional, owner points, blah, blah, blah. If you are not fast enough you should go home.

Cingular was grandfathered in the Nextel agreement alont with Alltel. They can not got to another team in Nextel Cup. The big debate is Cingular was bought by AT&T and they want to use that instead of Cingular on the #31 car but cant. No new cell companys can sponser Nextel Cup cars.

I agree. I love NASCAR and the new car of tommorow stuff but it's getting out of hand. Thats why lately I have been focusing on SCCA and local dirt track stuff. To me NASCAR is driving alot of fans away.

Loyal Fans. I am sure they are still collecting new fans who see it as a fad.. :_paranoid

They will drive the diehards away and the yuppies will watch it until the next big thing comes around.

Get rid of restrictor plates. Is it really racing when everyone goes the same speed!!

Bring back bias ply tires. The radials, along with aero dependancy, has killed the racing.

I'll always be a Nascar fan, but my true love is Sprint Cars. There's NOTHING like standing on the infield fence in turn 3 at Knoxville and watching Steve Kinser and others drive it into the corner without lifting.

I think that Nascar(Or someone with some imagination) should sanction races with Superbirds, Talladega Torinos and what ever GM had back in the day. I am not saying run old cars, run new ones. with the fab skills out there now it would be a non issue. Big blocks, Hemi's, no restrictor plates, modern tires and brakes and let the games begin.

once the challenger and the new camaro hit, I'd like to see modern trans am racing. Old school style simple paint schemes.

I have been along time fan but like many others I have some huge issues with the current sport.

1. Qualifying...............race to race..............simple, to send cars home with good drivers just because a OLD champ wants in..........tuff titty..............owners points.................it's a joke................

2. The car of tomorrow, no one likes it..................it's a joke on so many levels.................if it's so much safer, why not transfer those safety features into the current cars ? They want the cars to be more equal, why don't they just build the cars, drivers pick up their car, qualify and turn it back in till race day then they can borrow the car again to race...................boring.............

3. Rules................it's a joke...........race to the yellow.......don't race to the yellow................the exceptions are a joke.............

4. Truck and Busch................what the hell is going on with letting cup drivers in..................they have Nextel.......................grow the sport and create their own hero's and champions...............why do they think they can't fill the fields in these two leagues.................well if someone has a bit of money and puts together a team, why would they want to lose their money and race against cup drivers and lose every week..................how many cup drivers were in the top 10 at the last two Busch races...............

Thats my rant.................
