Nothing more to say, but “simply…awesome!”

Yup……
The party’s over, and there is nothing left to do but clean up the mess…..or wallow in it while reminiscing in a drunken stupor.
NASCAR has fostered its own undoing and its race tracks have turned into mazes of iniquity.

Shut down “The Thunderdomes”!

Nicely done. I agree on most points you made. NASCAR makes it easy to pick on them. I agree with Patrick, we complain because we care. We’re all just racing junkies.

I agree with the image NASCAR has re the lawsuits. But they have always had a disconnect with the public. The front office used to be more accessible and now there are so many layers.

The stars will always have their history re-written to make them larger, the same way the sponsors of the past are forgotten as soon as the ink is wet on the new contract. NASCAR constantly re-writes their own history to make themselves a self-deluding dynasty. You can give a guy a title (Brian France) but it doesn’t make him a racer. So I think he listens to people who occasionally give bad advice.

Maybe Carl Long is a redneck who rocks the boat every time he shows up and they were tired of it. That didn’t come out. J Mayfield may be well known for his behaviors and the truth finally came out in a drug test. But maybe not, and that is why truth is irrelevant in the legal world.

I like your passion Dawg. I will echo Jim’s thoughts. I don’t always agree 100% with what you say but I appreciate your viewpoint as a longtime observer. When we complain it is because we love and care about racing so much we just want to make it better.
