Is NASCAR Forgetting Its Roots?

Monday July 26, 2004
A good discussion in the forum where toughrigger4 says "We, the fans, let NASCAR bend us over every week ! They move races to the west coast, Chicago, Las Vegas and God knows where by taking them from their original home, here in the south, they make stupid rule changes that screw up the sport and year after year the ticket prices keep going up. This to me shows a total disregard for the people that made them rich and built the sport. THE LOYAL SOUTHERN FAN !"

That’s a narrow view of “the Roots” of Nascar. It would be quite boring if the only track a race was run on was in Daytona. Even the drivers enjoy running on various tracks. It keeps it challenging. My biggest concern is getting away from the competition between the car manufactures. It dosn’t matter who, GM to Toyota. That’s been the “Roots” of Nascar. With the (COT) we are headed to the same issues that the IROC race is now having. Remember “What wins on Sunday Sells on Monday” That ROOTS
