IMO, if he wins this Sunday, ASSuming he isn't in a wreck, it's fixed. Nascars ticket sells are down, their TV ratings are down (so I've read), so what better way to boost viewership then have Nascars goldenboy win on the 10th anniversary of his old mans death? How would Nascar fix the race? Jr gets the slightly bigger restrictor plate...(tin foil hat off)...  |
I know it is impossible to "fix" a race, (a predetermined winner that is) but it is possible to have someone qualify a little faster with a bigger plate. He might have the advantage with a bigger plate during the race as well. They try and manipulate the outcome with "debris" cautions etc. We will see.
