Maybe they can convince NASCAR to implement Affirmative Action races, Black women get 3 lap lead at the start, White women gets 2 lap lead and Black men get one lap lead at the start and the White pit crews have to have one black , one woman and a midget.

Are you finished?

"I would have to say the dumbest decision of all time was the plate race at Loudon. 300 laps without a single lead change."

I was at that race.

Big E said it best... It was restrictor plate driving, not resrtictor plate racing.

Rockingham can't sell enough tickets. North Wilksboro is run down. You're dreaming of the past friend.

Since the France family started NASCAR, I'd have to say that they are the roots of NASCAR.

Allowing Hendricks Racing's cars to not pass post-race inspection without penalty.

They had not violated the letter of the rule.

I doubt NHRA will ever have the appeal of NASCAR.

You left out Gays being assigned to the rear of the pack.

I always watch the first lap and the last lap and root for the Roush team.

If people knew the real meaning of the Confederate flag, they wouldn't get their drawers in a wad every time it's flown.

Why is it that kids learn very little in school yet they all seem to graduate with misinformation about the Civil War?

Yes, but BOTH TV contracts are up after this year and the Lil' Prince will do ANYTHING to appease the nets, even ruining Nascar!

Fire him. Those guys with battle flags have made NASCAR a big time success. You cater to "women and minorities" and you can kiss it good bye.

I suppose it's called revising history to fit in with today's political correctness crap, ladyjane. You're right on with your thoughts. *~*

Since I only go to small and dirt tracks, what is "Chase for the Race"?

>>>>I don't watch NASCAR anymore. It ceased being about racing a long time ago.<<<

With drivers saying stuff like, "The Home-Depot, Ace Hardware, Napa Auto Parts, Mountain Dew, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Commerce Bank, Bell South, Vavoline Motor Oil Chevrolet ran great today", how could you possibly think NASCAR was not about racing?

I agree. Bring back STOCK CARS. Stock bodies with the interiors ripped out and roll bars added. Dink with the computers and exhaust only and minor suspension mods. GM could run the V8 Caddy, Mopar could run the HEMI Charger, and Ford would have to build a real car. Make it a constructors race, and get some no names to drive profiling the technology more than the soap opera crap. Win on Sunday, sell on Monday.

A friend of mine had the idea a few years ago to start an all women's league and have them run station wagons. lol
