To All:
I started watching NASCAR back in the late 60's and early 70's. To me at that time it was what is was suppose to be. Watch the race on Sunday, buy the car on Monday.
AJ Foyt, Richard Petty, Buddy Baker, Bobby Allison they were great to watch and the cars were much more fun to watch. Everyone knew the teams were doing, "EVERYTHING" they could to win, but that was part of the fun of it.
The fun of the Bootlegging mentality has been ruled out of the racing.
Just too damn many rules. (Anal retentive Bastards)
Dale driving outside the box brought the fun back into watching Nascar. Now that he is gone, it's just another 3 hour advertising campain. No surprises, no nothing.
I remember one of the last races Dale drove, some guy pissed him off and on the slowdown lap he purposely nudged the back of his car sending him spinning into the infield. The crowd went wild, and it was just awesome to see a free spirit drive his ass off. Payback was a Bitch.
It was great, unrehearsted, out-of-control, and an absolute blast to watch. He didn't take crap from anyone.
It's time to start a new series with a lot less oversight.
