Nascar.. to many rules or a good thing?

to many controls put on the drivers takes away from the ability to race. and can make for dangerous situations. like restricter plate races.  where bumpdrafting is needed to pass puts the drivers in a very dangerous position. and the wrecks can take out severval cars at one time.

They don't know what NASCAR racing is really about. They think it's just what they see on race day, what's shown on television. They probably have never read any books on NASCAR(and there are plenty of books out there)that tell people what really goes on behind the scenes, how the drivers got into racing, how those cars are built(not on an assembly line!),qualifying, point standings, tracks(especially since all haters ASSUME all tracks are just 'turning left' there are two ROAD COURSES, Infineon and Watkins Glen)...\nand some people just aren't into racing. Of any kind. Period.

I hate it.  They already got rid of the "racing the leader back to the flag" and now the cars are all going to be the same.  As they are making it more competitive for the racers, they are making it boring for the fans.  Not to mention, Nascar is completely losing it's roots.  What happened to going out there and racing with what you got?

k..let me get on my box for a second. \nyes, i'm getting very annoyed with a lot of things, including fellow nascar fans. \nthe haters/basher will always be there. oh well, their loss. they are missing out on a great thing. i am amused that they find it in their time to deal with something they claim to hate so much.. personally, i have better things to do with my time than focus on something i do not enjoy. to me, it's easier to let it slide off my back then to get annoyed with it. they have no impact on my life and i can watch my tv or sit at a track w/o their approval so i can happily go aklong my merrily nascar way.  however, you have to look at what some fans are putting out there to the public. i say some, b/c i know there are still some TRUE fans out there.\n\nfirst, let's get something straight: nascar is about racing. it's not about sex. so can we please of the love of all things holy in racing stop throwing underwear at driver's like jr or kasey kahne. yeah, we got it..some people think they are easy on the eyes. pretty does not pay the bills unless you are dancing on tables. driver are drivers. they are there for the talent and the sport. let's stop demeaning them like a freakin' piece of grade a meat. now, as i said, yes, there are some that are easy on the eyes. i lvoe tony, i think he's gorgeous, but if he could drive a car i wouldn't hae one piece of #20 gear.. if fans put it out there like it's all about something so shallow people will take that and use it.\n\nsecond things are getting just ugly inside the sport. personally, i'm getting really extremely tired of everyne being ridiculous about the rivalries. i mean, yes, there are rivaliries and you can bag on other driver's a bit..but in the past years it has gotten to the extreme. it's gone from my driver can outdriver you driver.. to your driver is a lying cheating, homesexual, whinng scumbag..and it's just not nescessary. \npeople just can't admit when they are outraced, and it's irritating. i mean when someone besides their driver wins it becomes a matter of cheating an blah blah blah.. how about you just admit that you got outraced on that one. every driver would rather win against the best and have it be considered as a good win b/c they truly outraced.. and every driver would rather lose to a good driver than one who just got lucky. \nit's getting really disgusting that people are like wishing harm, actual bodily harm on other driver's..Now that's just plain sick and wrong.\nseriously, my two favorite driver's are probably on the top of the hate list..so i've gotten used to it over the years..but i still think it's gone way overboard and really makes me want to be escorted out of the tracks in handcuffs. i mean some people just need their stupidy stuffed right down their throats sideways.. \n\nnow we take all that and put it out there for the non nascar people to view and what do you think thy are going to take from it?? it's all about representing things better. \nk i will jump off my box now..thanks.

No more than the Letterman Crew did for Danica ; they pitted ; when they need to and the Crashes just happened while they were Pitting ; Not sure I like the Rule ; but Hope Someone will explan ; why the Rule exsist at all ; if you pit on green you should be able to get back out depending on your pitt time and Place in Competition prior to leaving the track ; not all the way to the back of the Pack ; they know the Adverage Lap times prior to the Crash etc . it aint Rocket Science ; it just seems un fair ! How do you know when someone is going to sell their car to the wall ; is it a Team effort ?

i think because a large majority of nascar fans are considered "hicks".  even though far more many types of people enjoy nascar.  and i'd have to say that it certainly is a sport.  the kind of endurance it takes to handle and drive a car at such high speeds is a talent.  \nmy friends and i used to think it was a joke too.  until a friend introduced it to us.  we all picked a driver and cheered him on and since then we've become pretty hooked on it.  i think most people just need the opportunity to enjoy it.  or at least just open up their minds to it.

Unfortunately, todays drivers are a bunch of pussies. This fact is not helped, by the fact there are too many new rules, not allowing the drivers to bump and grind as they did in the old days.

NASCAR is a sport. no matter what all you haters think. it is. try & drive 500 laps no time outs, no nothing. try and not crash, try and save yourself if you do crash. NHRA is also a sport. trust me my uncle & dad are both in it. try going up to like 200mph stright and not crashing into the person next to you. both NHRA & NASCAR are BOTH sports not matter what any of you say =]

Yes, and no because  @ Bristol sh*t happens, but I think he should be fined because when Little E had a run in with the press at Dega in '04, he got fined.  So Jeff Gaydon should be fined as well since he was on live TV.  Take the 1979 Daytona 500 into consideration.  When DW, Bobby and Davey Allison, and Cale Yarborough got in a fight, it was just entertainment. But Nascar is so strict now that you can't even go out and party before a race.  Like when Kurt Busch got drunk in Phoenix, Nascar suspended him for the last 2 races.  If it was some dude off the street, it would be no big deal besides loosing your drivers liscense.  You don't need a liscence to race.  Jack Roush and Mike Helton are idiots.  Kurt Busch is a very talented racer.  I feel as my temper rises, I get more sidetracked.

You want to run fast like the big brown truck??\n Get real davehunt2424, us NASCAR fans can drink anytime we please!! The real moron is you and anyone else who doesn't think its a sport!

I don't think they should cut a short race based on time. On top of that you go to a course like Watkins Glen and you know that it will take a little extra time. If anything they should be kicking idiots out of the race who are going around intentionally wrecking people. That crap about the cold tires isn't believable anyone who watched it. You could see him clearly steer over there like that. Anyway you cut down the length if you don't want the race to take as long. That's why NASCAR cuts down the length of it's road races.

I think that more points should be awarded for a win, but not too many more because consistancy is very important in my opinion.  \n\nThis is kind of off topic, but I agree with Kenny Wallace that the Chase drivers should have their own point system...

I can't believe 48 won another restrictor plate race. I hope Nascar finds something illegal on his car and penalize him. Are the 17, 26, 99 team mates, cause they don't drive like they are.

I used to be a fan until they have changed the sport.  Use to be an all American sport, not anymore.  I am not sure what you would like to know because there is a lot to the sport.  I would suggest watching it on tv because the do a really good job explaining everthing from the cars to the points and more.
