The above reasons given in this posting are true. But from my prespective, the sport is no longer as exciting as it used to be. NASCAR in my opinion has created an expensive IROC series out of the Sprint Cup Series. It is ridiculous when NASCAR officials tell teams what shocks to place on a competitor's race car. The strict overregulation has made competition very boring. Crew chiefs , much like football coaches are having their "plays" taken away from them when they are being placed in such restricted positions when it comes to car setups. It used to be nice about twenty five years ago, when you could go to the speedway during practice sessions, place a stop watch on a competitor, have him come back to the garage, change the setups and go back out for more practice. Now one has to check with a NASCAR offficial for a chasis part change..can't use that spring....can't use that shock...can't use that spoiler..not NASCAR approved. I have stopped going to races for many of these reasons, but I have also limited my viewing of these events on television. Baseball. Golf, and Football are much more exciting and more importantly.....UNPREDICTABLE!!! In essence, more exciting.
