This is not trying to be just a negative post about NASCAR, but I truly do not understand how/why people still follow NASCAR. But week in and week out IOW,Facebook, local track forums light up about NASCAR. I would understand putting up with some of the crap if the racing were good, but its just choregraphed entertainment. The racing went away years ago. The ones that do enjoy NASCAR, thats great nothing wrong with that as we all have our entertainment dislikes, but why do other people put themselves through the pain. Why is there any belief think things will change when the people in charge have not changed. Sorry to rant, just dont understand why people week in and week out watch it knowing they will be unhappy. I stopped following NASCAR around 2004 so I have no NASCAR frustration.

We follow because open wheel stars like Larson, Stewart, Gordon, Whitt, Wise, Newman etc are all over the field.
I take back what I said about Helton killing Nascar but he's not helped with all his PC and corporate BS. Nascar died with Davey Allison Before that, The racing was actually good.

Indycar, F1, LeMans, and even local circuit Sprint Cars (on the rear axle) all race with 1 large center mounted lug nut.
NASCAR has managed to introduce laser inspection, multi-billion dollar TV rights, digital dashboards to replace traditional needle gauges, etc, and yet they cannot replace the old school 5 lug nut design? 1 lug nut... self policing... no more grey area for teams to push. |

Somebody hit it right on the head. Nascar is now a beauty pageant, that's why it sucks.
As for the lug nuts, almost all the "passing" is in the pits. A single Nut would cut down on some of the "passing". I believe nascar is for partying and socializing, your local track is for real race action. |
