Right on! I put up with it cause Toyota wasn't winning at first and to be honest I was enjoying it.Toyota and K.B.is making me lose interest big time.

Do you know that NASCAR gives the teams a tolerance?The teams make the decision to go even past that.Speeding on pit road?They are allowed 5 mph OVER the speed limit.Its not NASCAR,it's the teams pushing the limit over what they are allowed.The lower teams very rarely have a issue because they can't afford a fine.The large teams have a fine budged in for the years.Its just risk against reward.Now that they take wins and money away there are way less fines.The engineers find a little advantage here and there in the wind tunnels that the small teams can't afford.This is and never will be a level playing field.Speed cost money,how fast can you afford to go.Tom

OMG.. Good one Lee! that wall Meme looks exactly like the condition of today's NASCAR.

A wall that looks like a wall - but no structural mortar to hold it together in the long term.

Great Meme!

Actually the TV ratings for 2019 were the same as they were for 2018.

What NASCAR is doing currently is to reduce the cost of running a team. This will pay huge dividends by leveling out the playing field. The 2018 standardization of the Paoli Air Guns are a perfect example.

You just don't get it do you? Making the teams and the cars equal is what is killing the sport and the more they try to make things equal,the less interesting the racing actually is and the more viewers they will lose.the more viewers thy lose, the less likely companies will want to advertise their events. It's plain as the nose on your face, just look in the stands each week!

The next-gen car will enable manufacturers to design bodies that will better represent the production cars they are inspired by and will also allow for more tech transfer between the track and the street thanks to things like larger wheels with lower-profile tires.

Burd....I don't mean to be rude but most of your posts I've read on this site have been unintelligent and irrelevant. This post was no different. Why don't you just refrain from posting at all until such a time when you actually have something intelligent and relevant to say.
