Sunoco is upset because the Shell logos on Harvicks car were too big.

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

I'm suprised NEXTEL allows Jeff Burton's car to race.

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..

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.
