It can still be saved guys.30+ years of watching and going has told me that.

Its not the drivers.

Its the marketing.Its the micro-management of rules.Its about the $$$.Dale Jr and Nascar's marketing of him is the prime example of whats wrong with Nascar as an association.

I don't know about boring.Some races are and some aren't.Homestead is definitely not cookie-cutter,its the only true oval on the circuit other than Indy and Indy is a 1/2 mile bigger with no banking.Kenseth simply dominated as have drivers have done since before some were born.

There are races that the King or DW or Pearson or both Bobby and Davey Allison or Dale Sr. to name just a small few who so dominated races that they finished 3+ laps ahead of second.

And yes I agree ABC/ESPN coverage sucks.The only redeeming quality in their coverage is Suzie Kolber and a good portion of that has do with looks but she's also just better at covering sports in general.
