Wow, has money changed this sport for the worst. As a life long fan, and sometime participant it really seems like the racing is secondary to everything else these days.                                                                                            Nascar has prostituted itself into a joke, from one weekend to the next they have no idea what they are doing. If you have enough money you can buy drivers, buy points, ruin guys careers, and still sit in New York at the end of the year like nothing ever happened and act like you actually won the award they  just gave you.                                                                             There are a few older drivers left that still have the principles that Nascar was founded on, but they are few and far between. The Mark Martins, Marlins, the Petty's, they know whats up. They can remember when your wrenches meant as much as your wallet.                                                                               Sure big business has brought good changes to the sport, more T.V exposure, more advertising , more  fans, more money for the drivers. But it's also brought multi cars teams so we the fans get to hear drivers squabble over who can't pass who, who is number one, who gets the better motors and crews.                                                                                                        There is an old saying, "Bigger isn't always better". Maybe Mike Helton and the boys better step back and look at what they have created. Maybe they better wonder if what they have created can be controlled like the old sport it once was, and if not, they better fix it fast.                                                     There was no way the computer age was ever going to fail.Now drive through the Silicon Valley area outside of San Fransisco now and look at the deserted high rise buildings and vacant parking lots, of companies that used to give away cars as bonus's to their employees.They created a monster that soon consumed itself, and disappeared.                                                             Is Nascar headed that way, I doubt it,not at this time, but remember we learn from the past, and we learn from ours, and others mistakes. If not, then history serves us not.  Be Cool, Just a few thoughts from the BOBDOT
