i saw some stuff on TV saying that the pickup trucks popularity was due to the disaperence of the "muscle cars" of the 70's so the auto makers are bringing them back.....and we'll be able to drag race for pink slips again...  |

I think that nascar has and is doing alot of things to make the sport worse but I don't think that allowing Toyota in is one of them. Also, alot of their problems, or at least what I think are their problems, aren't really their fault but are a result of the sport's total reliance on sponsors.

Just proves that anybody will do anything for money. The night races are good, I enjoy those, so I can go fishing and not miss a race.
How many races are we up to?
It takes 8 million just to get to the track and have a chance of getting in the race every weekend. Roush has what a 90 million program for Nextel? It's unreal the amount of money, it's almost as bad if not worse then pro Football. The sponsors drive it all.

I like the night races too but I've had the opposite experience when it came to fishing. I missed the end of most of the night races last year because I was out in the surf.
Love Nascar but fishing takes priority. |

Racing ALWAYS comes first.There are six OTHER nights to fish.
That being said Nascar is ruining the "fun" of the night race.There are just way to many now.The night race was a special occasion because of
its rarity.It really wasn't all that long ago when the 600 and Bristol were the only night races and then a few years later the 400 in Daytona.It now is getting to the point if a track hosts two races one of them ends up being a night race.
