I started watching as a kid back in the early 1980s and finally quit back around 2008 or so. Stages, political correctness, introduction of Toyota, new cars that are more like the Australian Supercars(no offense to Australia as that is an interesting series especially the vintage stuff). It just sucks now. Period.
oh i know- i absolutely hated the stages- just race, and whatever happens happens- that really ruined the sport for me
