NEW NASCAR Points System?

ESP47 said
I stopped watching a couple years after Dale died. I wasn't even a fan of his either but the sport just went downhill after that. I used to tune in to watch real men race, not a bunch of kids that are hand picked by the sponsors to endorse their products. Nascar got too big for its own britches and is starting to pay for it now. Getting rid of exciting tracks for boring ones that have more seats, stupid points systems and cars that cost millions of dollars to build have ruined the sport. They turned everything on its head to make a lot of money for a few years but now they have damaged the long term growth of the sport.

I think that's a dead nuts on synopsis. Yeah, whether you were a fan or not, you had to respect the way he didn't whine. All I ever heard him say was "well that's racin". He was right. That's what the sport WAS all about. A little rubbin and bouncin around is entertainment. Also another interestin point is this. The cars now have gotten so sophistocated that the challenge of driving one is almost gone. I would love to see ....oh I don't know......Jeff Gordon for instance behind the wheel of.....yeah......a 1963 Galaxie with biased ply tires goin 160 plus MPH. These new cars nearbout drive themselves.
