NASCAR loves mentioning all their new fans but part of the "old guard" became disenchanted and left. What if many "newbies" don't commit long term? It might be as important to win back lost fans, as it is to keep the recently acquired. Anytime you lose customers something's wrong. Gentlemen...restart your engines.

It seems that glitz and shtick trumped sensibility and substance. Attempting to appeal to trendier crowds, NASCAR altered their product in presentation and regulation. Some believe that not all has been in the sport's best interest. Immediate dividends don't always pay off over time.

Teams with abundant resources are the most capable of winning. The concept of "teams" is asinine. ONE driver gets to Victory Lane. Get rid of mega-teams. If owners want multiple cars have them run different makes.

There are too many ambiguous rules. This defies two beliefs. First is the principle that "less is more". Second is never have gray area with standards. Clarify everything by downsizing the rulebook. Eradicate suspicions that teams cheat and that NASCAR inconsistently regulates.

Television broadcasts are lacking. Due to poorly contrived attempts at humor and redundant terminology tutorials... changes MUST take place. Nothing against Darrell Waltrip and others from the half-dozen racing networks, but NASCAR deserves ONE distinguishing voice that preferably doesn't consider "Boogity" a verb.

In the name of progress NASCAR strayed from what made it great. The more history I've learned the better some of it sounds. Nostalgia sells. NASCAR should try it.
