I bailed on CART when it became the Indy Racing League. I tried to care but didn't. They are so far gone to me these days I don't even watch the Indy 500 much.I'm a huge NASCAR fan. Love it. I hate this new format though. Stage racing is fine but no need for a yellow at each one. Award the points and let the damn race keep going. They aren't running a 500 mile race anymore. They're running two 125's and a 200. No more yellows at set points. Just run the damn race and award points for who's there that lap.I respect the talent, but it's just not a sport i'm interested in. Seems very boring. Sports have evolved. Soccer was great when there wasn't much else. It's primitive. I'd much rather watch an exciting American Football or Basketball game. I may even go with NASCAR Racing over Soccer, as far as excitement goes. I'm not a big NASCAR fan, but this year's Daytona 500 was pretty exciting.
NASCAR is one of the few sports you can killed playing....40 cars doing 190mph within a foot of each other for 3 hours....anybody says those boys ain't great athletes isn't paying attention. Watch Talladega.....restrictor-plate racing same as Daytona....that's as balls-to-the-wall as it gets.
Yeah, i'm not sure about this new system either. NASCAR needs to stop fiddling with the rules. It's gotten carried away. It's actually pissing fans off now. They can't keep up with the constantly changing rules. Enough is enough.
Let's get back to real racing. I admit i wasn't always a NASCAR Fan, but i'm getting into it more & more. But they need to stop changing the rules every year. People love racing. Just allow them to enjoy it. But i'll take NASCAR Racing over Soccer every time.
Yeah....it all started with restrictor plate racing.
As in NASCAR and the NFL,the cars/players have become so fast and powerful that safety innovations cant keep up.
While I still like NASCAR I'd rather watch Cart Series racing or Rally racing.
I kind of look at NASCAR as boxing and Indy as MMA....you have to know how to turn right.
