Nascar is nothing but a buncha cry babies, IMO, its the crew that make or break it. The drivers just want to sit in the car and put no effort.

I lost all respect when they interview a guy that just finished 15th place and is happy about it. If you aint first, your a loser, that simple, Look at F1, they only get points for the first few places, those guys strive to win and 2nd and 3rd arent happy nor content.

Remove the stupid restrictions, quit making everyone conform to one standard and MAYBE I will watch.
Give base parameters and safety guidelines and then let each manufacturer build and field a team.

IIRC, there is an "official" F1 thread floating around GD somewhere.  Last I checked, the "search" button still worked.

I think I'd like watching most team sports more if they played by your rules.  Football players could employ ATVs or horses, basketball players would bring rocket shoes and baseball players would never know if a ball or a stick of dynamite was going to come out of a pitcher's glove.

I want to see something between Nascar and TransAM.

Hell, massive circle tracks with an inner road course will be fine.

But this circle jerk they have now is stupid and I refuse to watch.

Yea, rally is cool but how often do you actually see the cars, the racing action going on? Zoom by, wow cool...wait here's comes the next one...zoom...wow cool....repeat. Ok, we can go home now.

Thats the way it is with the Dakar Rally. Its a bad ass multi continent  race but very limited coverage and its usually just showing point standings, etc. Not much of the actual racing.

On TV of course, it's just not popular enough to set up the right coverage.... And they last a long time.

Nascar was a hell of a lot cooler in the 60's when they actually drove stock cars. It would be sweet watching them race Cameros, chargers and other real cars.

the garages are in turn 4, two buildings. if you look at google maps you can clearly see them, Sprint and Capitol One on the roofs. you can also see the rest of the infield is practically empty. they of course fill it up with the haulers and assorted vehicles.
