NASCAR has made a concerted effort to abandon its traditional, real, fans in favor of once-and-done nouveau fans in places like California and New York, and now it has come back to haunt them. Instead of universal start times, how about a Labor Day Southern 500 at Darlington, a race at Rockingham, a few more short tracks, a few less boring tracks (Cal, Mich, Indy), a few less cookie cutter 1 1/2 mile tracks, and a high-banked 3/4 mile track. Just some thoughts from a traditional fan who used to never miss a race, but now watches when I don't have anything better to do.
