"Nextel" Grand National series?

No it's very wrong, for the most part. \n\nIt's wrong in the fact that it's become a Nextel Cup testing session, that point has been made very very public by teams,drivers and the announcers alike. Nascar knew this would happen (to a ridiculous amount) when they invoked the new testing limit's. A team like Rousch is out right sickening  5 cars in cup (6 if you count the 60car, or the 7 cars he had in the field at Homestead).  and then to run 5 or 6 cars every race in Busch.  They are not only screwing the low budget teams that the Busch Series was designed for but they are running them out. No matter who the sponsor is on the car teams like Roush will always have an bottomless well to draw from.  Then take the situation like Harvick, races in Busch for RCR, owns another car in Busch and utilizes Cup drivers in that car.      \n\nAs far as NASCAR goes, Don't expect a change from them. The more Cup drivers entered into a Busch event the more asses that will be put in seat's and that's all NASCAR want's.  Every year we hear "leveling the field" for all teams, one engine rules, tire leasing, testing limits, and yet all they do is kill the small teams. Go back over the last few year's since Brian took over, look at how many teams have left. \n\nFor a Cup team to enter 5 or 6 cars driven by Cup drivers in the Busch series is out right dispicable.

LUV NASCAR. I can't believe nobody said "its just a bunch of cars driving in a circle" yet. As many times as this question has been asked on here, there has always been at least one answer like that...

Stewart may have to watch out for everyone if he's going to race like that all year. I agree,Kenseth does owe him. As for Gordon,who knows,he's no dummy. He wont do something stupid that will eventually hurt his team.

If and when they switch to the Car of Tomorrow, Nascar will then be a lot like Iroc. I have mixed feelings about it though. On the one hand, it will even the playing field. On the other hand, It takes away the manufacturers rivalry.

Hey, the engine builders at the team race shops would NOT like that idea very much. Means extra work in the engine shop plus the work to get ready for the Coca-Cola 600, which is the next race after the All-Star event. and P.S. the All-Star race is in May, not July, unless they changed it for next year.

Yes. With the "Race to the Cup" for the top ten for one thing. When one position in points can mean hundreds of thousands of $, I feel sorry for the guy in eleventh place. Under the old rule 11Th place could possibly move up a couple of spots to 8Th or 9Th, maybe. And what are all these penalties for "non-approved" parts. These parts aren't illegal, just not from a supplier that has sucked up (payed off?) to NASCAR. Used to be you could run any part that conformed with the rules. It didn't matter if you built it yourself or bought it. And these young drivers, used to be that a driver had a few years of experience before moving up to NASCAR's big league. These new drivers are good, but inexperienced. And the new drivers all seem to fit the cookie cutter corporate image. They are good looking and articulate. A short guy like Cale Yarbourgh, or a driver that spoke like his mouth was full of marbles like Buddy Baker, or an ex-convict like Junior Johnson, wouldn't make it in today's corporate racing world. I think NASCAR should stop being such a glamor sport and go back to basics, go fast, turn left, and may the best driver/car win. I'm curious as to how many of these race fans are really fans. A lot of these people only watch racing on the TV or maybe attend a couple of NASCAR races a year. How many go to their local short track? Almost everyone in the contiental U.S. is within an hour's drive to a local track. These tracks offer about 4 hours or more of entertainment for under $15 on most nights. Whether the track is paved or dirt, running late models, open wheeled sprint cars or modifieds, you will probaly see some exciting racing. As I said before, let's get back to basics.

He's doing far better than he ended up last year.  I'd say that their team will end up top five in points this year and there's a good chance that in '07 they will be championship contenders.  I'm not a Jr. Fan either.  He's ok and I wish him the best.  Don't compare him with Dale Sr. either.  It's a different and far more competitive environment now vs. 20-25 years ago.

I'm pulling for the Audi's---to prove that auto racing will remain exciting, even as we have to use new technologies to race.  The Penske Porsches are not running LeMans--only in the US.  Plus in P2 on a wide open course like LeMans they would only win by attrition.  The Mulsanne straight is about 3 miles long---they give away too much power to the P1 cars.  Their agility and weight doesn't help here.

He will and should barely beat out Jimmie Johnson to be Nextel Cup Champion. They will go at it for the rest of the year too.

Tony is an awesome driver.  It takes a lot of skill to accomplish the achievements he has in a variety of different levels of motor sports.  I actually got a chance to meet him years ago before he became famous (I was in college) when he was running dirt tracks in Indiana.\n\nDenny Hamlin - awesome rookie will be a nextel champion (or whoever sponsors it then) at some point in his career.

Well, I'm an American girl. I won't drive foreign cars. However, Toyota is becoming just as American as Ford and Chevy. Toyota is making some huge grounds in creating jobs and such in the states. I have to give them their props on that. It's not like Toyota is completely foreign anymore. I think it was Carl Edwards who said something about looking out in the parking lot and starting see just as many Toyota's for fan cars as there is Chevy and Ford.\nRahter it belongs in Nascar..yeah, I'm not really sure about that. Maybe it's b/c I'm so used to it being Ford/Chevy. Dodge coming back in sent shockwaves through, but not Dodge is a normal part of Nascar. I guess a big part of me is sitll like NO>> Keep it American, but then I have to remember Toyota is becoming pretty American. I didn't mind it so much in the truck series, but I just don't think I'm ready for it in the Cup series. I suppose I don't have a choice, and will have to deal with it next year regardless. I think you will probably see the Toyota teams really struggle for the first few years..so it's rather or not the teams can stick it through the struggles.

Tricky..\n\nNextel Cup: Tony Stewart\n\nWinston Cup:  No longer exists, now know as the Sprit/Nextel cup.\n\nIndy: Dan Wheldon was the points winner and the Indy  500 winner.

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.
