I've been watching NASCAR since the late 80's and now find myself like many fans no longer interested or even care for that matter. I remember a time in the mid to late 90's when I could not miss a race but those days or long gone. I now watch only bits and pieces of races mainly the last 20 laps or so after FFWDing on my DVR and wouldn't even consider actually going to a race as I frequently did in the past. I could blame the economy but I know that is simply not true not when I have spent big money over the last few years going to NFL games and PBR events. The truth is I no longer have the love for the sport because it is no longer a sport it has became a commercialized joke. They became so hung up with trying to broaden their fan base that they lost most of the dedicated fans they already had and they are still to stupid to realize it. Younger drivers, Danica Patrick or a stupid Gopher is not the solution, fans want to see real racing once again and if you don't know what I mean just tune in to one of those espn classic races back from the 90's when drivers were beating on each others doors for 500 laps and racing back to the checker flag after each caution and I'm not talking about some bogus debree caution I'm talking about the days when crew cheifs actually worked on the cars rather than trying to just manipulate and work around all of nascar's silly rules and restrictions. I hate what NASCAR has become but I want lose any sleep over it because there are other great sports out there to enjoy and I don't see them changing any time soon unless the Helton's buy them out. Lol...
