If a sanctioning body wants to screw somebody, screw the drivers, screw the track owners, screw the teams, I don't care. But as soon as you think you can screw the fans, you've lost all reason for existing, and you have lost your revenue, and the reason for the advertising. This means no mega-million dollar budgets and that means back to obscurity if you continue to exist at all.

Again, just my opinion but why should I support a racing series who tried to screw me or someone just like me?


I agree almost 100% with you, For the last few years my biggest goal was to go to the usgp, now it will be years before i do go, if ever. That doesnt stop me from being a fan of the most sophistacated(spelling) cars on earth.
In regards to the other guy posting about being a fan of all motor sports, thats awesome. The term "nascar bashing" is probably not the right term for people to use. I respect nacar for what it is. The drivers have alot of talent and the cars are faster than they have ever been, but what i dont like about it is theres zero real technology in it. When it comes down to it there tube chasis, pushrod, carberated, dinosars. I love cars and racing cause every year new things come out. Im a techno weenie. Thats why i bought a contour, and not a old 5.0 mustang. So i mean no disrespect to anyone who loves there nascar(even the guy who shaved jeff gordons # in his back hair )
and if nascar was the only motorsports on tv id prob be watching it everyday too
