Nascar sucks always has and always will(to me). "Lets take left turns all day long"
And then nascar people complain when they race a road course. lol sad. If you fellas want to see some real racing watch an SCCA event. THe cars are the same cars me and you drive on the street, mostly a suspension upgrade and a little motor work. Very competive and its not all about the sponsers. Oh yeah and they turn the wheel BOTH ways!!!!! Wow who would of known a car could go left and right
just my $.02 take it for what its worth

I was a Nascar fan for years but I have really lost interst in it. This weeks race was a joke and even the drivers were bored and making statements that basically said that the people running Nascar don't get it and are not providing a quality event for the customers and for the drivers where they can drive and mix it up.
In 3 more races Nascar has a short period of time to come up with a fix for the problem other then making them go slower in single file for nearly 80% of the race because that is just plain BORING.

NASCAR attendance is down about 20% for the year, and there are reasons for that other than just the economy......
I never found watching cars race around in a circle very exciting. While I can appreciate the skills involved in wining in NASCAR, it just does nothing for me. Probably because being successful has more to do with car setup and drafting strategy than what I consider driving skills; braking, cornering, etc.
Like jdmdriver8 mentioned, SCCA is much more like it.
What really floats my boat is World Rally Cars. When it boils down to driving skills, I find WRC hard to beat.
One more thing: It takes a special kinda guy to be a rally navigator.

It's not the speed, look at how popular the short tracks are. I'm addicted to NASCAR but Talladega was a snooze fest. They can't pass without drafting so they rode around single file. The safety is a good thing but they need more lead way in building the cars. All the same makes for a lousy race. The racing "back in the day" was not without boring finishes. Many races had 5 cars on the lead lap and 1/4 mile between 1st and 2nd. This crap "leave your team mate lead a lap to get his 5 points" sucks.

I have read this thread completely and find that my core beliefs have been shaken. I expect the next thing you will try to tell me is that the WWF is not real. 
Come on guys, what else is there for us to watch? Oh I guess we can still follow Felons In Tights (NFL).

There ought to be heat races to qualify for the feature like the midgets.
Three money winners 1st,2nd, and third and bonus money for every lap led. Give the drivers some incentive to race instead riding around waiting for the last ten laps.
Have it like a gunfight, shoot what you bring and race what you are driving. I can see putting a limit on cubic inches but if a mechanic can design something to win go for it. If it works won't be long before others will have it.

sorry ... the drama mongers got the NFL too
Nascar needs to get rid of the restricter plates at Daytona and Talladega and control top speeds by rear-end gearing.
This would get rid of the boring freight-train racing at these two tracks.
This is how NHRA kept the Top-Fuel and Funny Car speeds below 300 mph until tire technology caught up with the speed of the nitro cars.
