The season has been interesting so far. We have had our good races...then we have had our boring races! I am really looking forward to the last 10 races...I am excited to see just who makes the chase, cuz we got our ppl in the top 12 right now, but we have those others just on the outside such as kenseth...ragan...Vickers, that could make a run for it towards the end.
***And i DO NOT beleive it is the COT problem. I think that everyone has realized what can happen over the course of a season. U can be in the 12 the whole year, then acouple races b4 the chase, u do bad, and ur out of it completely. I beleive the drivers are right now, playing it safe so they can secure a chase spot, then when we get closer to the chase, they will all start letting it out. Just wait!
***And u all want excitement....then just look forward to next week. RACING RESTRICTERPLATE!!!!!! I cant wait for Daytona!!

Exactly what I was thinking!!!

I hesitate to post as this is such a rah rah rah NASCAR forum. It seems some of the bloggers are shills for nascar instead of racing fans. I have visited this forum several times and read admonishments not to "flame" or be overly critical here.
However, I am here by invitation so imhop......
1. Toyota has no business on the track. They especially have no right to build a special engine for their teams. Yes I know that race engines don't resemble street engines anymore but lets maintain a level playing field. Let Ford, Chevy and Dodge develop OHC engines if they choose, at least make Toyota run what they manufacture and manufacture something similar to what they race.
2. Joe Gibbs wins the Sprint (nextel, winston whatever) Cup opportunist of the year award, but this is symptomatic of Nascar today, The deepest pockets win!
I hope Tony Stewart quits and finds a good Chevy ride again. Go back to football Joe, or better yet just go away.
3.The COT has taken most of the excitement out of the sport. It isn't just the idea of a common rolling chassis but all the restrictive rules that come along with it. There is almost no room for technical innovation anymore and with some of the draconian penalties for rules violations I am sure crew chiefs and crews are afraid to implement any new ideas they may come up with.
I will agree that the car is probably the safest ever to be introduced into the sport and thats great, no one wants to see these drivers hurt, maimed or killed. Since it is so safe and the drivers are well protected what say we throw away the restrictor plates and really go racing at the super speedways,
thats what they were built for!
4.Nascar needs to pick a broadcaster and stick with it Darrell Waltrip and crew on FOX are far and away the most entertaining group covering the races and you don't have to have cable to watch the race. A lot of race fans don't subscribe to cable or sattv or their particular package doesn't include TNT or SPEED or ESPN. As stock car racing is one of the few reasons I even turn the television on I am not likely to pay for a yearly subscription service that carries a lot of programming i am not interested in. By the way so far TNTs' Track Buddy doesn't work.
5.Conduct unbecoming.......... I could go on for sometime with various criticisms of Nascar and why I think this year has been something of a snore,
but it really boils down to one thing: Greed. The Sprint cup,(WINSTON) Nationwide(BUSCH) and Craftsman truck series has been so sanitized by Nascar to appeal to the masses, that it isn't as thrilling of a spectator sport as it once was. Nascar wants Mom , little sister Susie and aunt Betty to have tickets and accompany Dad and Son to the track and not be offended by a driver using some strong language after being wrecked in the final laps of the race.Personally I would love to hear what JR. said when Kyle hit him.
Automobile racing is not for everybody Nascar and thats good. Accept that before you lose too many more fans. The grandstands at Michigan weren't sold out and it wasn't because of the price of gas.
I,ve enjoyed the 2008 season so far, it,s been interesting and NOT what I expected to see at the begining of the year ( I was expecting the Hendrick teams to dominate, a Toyata to WIN alot ie Stewart not shrubbie and Mark Martin to announce his retirement ) I still enjoy the Craftsman truck races better than Cup and the Nationwide series racing has gone way past my expectations with some of the new drivers/teams brining life back to that series.
All in all I,m Happy with this season and expect the second half to get even better.

Go Get Em Kevin/Jeff/Clint.......Richard please just say NO TO MEARS
So if I read you correctly, you hate Toyota because they are dominant, you hate Gibbs because they are dominant, and you expect NASCAR to provide you with free entertainment 36 weekends a year...
If you really hate it so much, go watch something else...
