Don't have a lot of time but the biggest problem with "parity" in
these cars and teams is 40 cars in the pack at the final laps.. I just
want to see a winner, not this green, white, checkered bull****...

Modern Nascar racing does nothing for me. It's changed so much over the
years and the focus is now on the driver and his/her personality than the
race itself. All the cars look the same and the regulations and rules make
them boring to me.

I liked the old days when a Nascar stock car race pitted 427ci Fords
against 427ci Chevys which were both blown off the map for a couple of
years by the MoPar 426 Hemi.

The cars looked like street versions (ergo 'stock car') and the winning
manufacturer enjoyed a spike in sales on the Monday following the weekend
race.

Couldn't agree with you more - the driver centric model replacing the
car centric model drives me nuts.

I stick with it only because I've been such a fan for such a long
time.

It seems to me that what the sport really needs is to return to the
manufacturer model with NASCAR regulating engine size, shocks, tranny
and rear end ratios. Let Hoosier (who actually builds a superior
tire), Goodyear and Bridgestone (Firestone) fight it out on the track.

Everything else should be left up to the teams. Like it used to be.

Conservative I know, but that's the way I roll. :)
