Well the economy sure hasn't helped the issue....I for one..among the unemployed...have chosen to forgo my attendance of two races yearly..and opt for watching them on TV (hey I'm already paying for the cable...beer and soda and food are cheaper at my house, my bed is paid for, my house is air conditioned/heated, gas is soooo expensive, I could go on and on and on with my "savings"). But for me..the economy is not the straw that broke the camels back....it's NASCAR itself. "They" have decided they are going to listen to the fans...I really would like to know who the heck these fans are they are listening to..and why they chose these certain fans to listen to. I like the double file restarts..good deal. The start times..well that's better. Phoenix screwed up adding laps..so let's not start a trend there. What the heck is with this "wave around" rule..come on guys..you already have a "lucky dog"...now we have the entire "pack" of dogs going around the track every time that nasty debris shows up (I thought I was watching car racing not greyhound racing). AND don't get me started on the "debris" cautions...funny how one showed up at Martinsville right when it looked like a runaway finish. That brings me to GWC finishes...come on guys...Three of them! I can't decide if NASCAR has three GWC finishes because they want excitement, a demolition derby, or the guy restarting 20th to get the win..hey it could happen if it does take three GWC's..the first 19 restarters will have crashed by then..NASCAR ONE GWC is enough! To me it has TOTALLY altered the finishes..its staged..or at the best it's a crapshoot and negates all the racing and strategies of the entire race. AND this "have at it boys"...was there somewhere in the fine print that said "have at it boys until you kill or seriously injure another driver or fan"? I just don't get the "new" NASCAR...there are so many things they could do for the fans...but so far all I see is them doing for themselves...but, I think over the years NASCAR has gone from being a "sport" to being "entertainment"...and "the show must go on".
