Now that Nascar has done away with any form of Stock car racing in the upper classes, ie Winston cup and Bush cup, gotten rid of any competition between auto manufacturers,stiffled any form of performance enhancing among engine builders, Would it not be in keeping with this mind set, to change the name of NASCAR as well. It might be more fitting to give it a name that more closely relates to the style of cookie cutter cars running around the track,competing for sponsor money and TV rights. Also, to eliminate any type of fan inter-action with the different drivers and their different type personality's, would it be better to have a fan wide vote for the most liked driver, then a vote from the sponsers for their most liked driver, sit down and combine the two polls and "CLONE" the one driver that fits both groups best(giving the nod to the sponsers of course). Then we got cookie cutter cars running around circles with cookie cutter drivers.....NOW THAT'S RACIN' I love racing, but it sure has gotten lost in the shuffle..Seems like they are doing a good job of makin sheep out of us racing fans.. Just my opinion...don't get your feathers ruffled..

So, I've been a big NASCAR fan since I was a young boy (I'm 23 now), and I appreciate many of the changes that have occurred over the years, but there's some things that worry me. I understand that the corporate guys want to make the sport as marketable to as broad a base as possible, but why do they try to institute concepts from other sports, which are kind of shoe-horned into auto racing. Im talking about things like a playoff, "overtime", fantasy racing leagues, 'wild cards', all-star races,. and whatever else anyone can think of. Im not trying to bad mouth any of these changes, it just seems like they're looking at what makes OTHER sports exciting, and not what makes racing cool and exciting. This isn't football or basketball, and it has a lot of unique features that they should try thinking outside the box about. I would just hate for potential fans to be turned off because they see the sport as just trying to copycat on success. Does anyone else feel this way, or am I already becoming an old fogey?
