It's out of control, folks! At a time in NASCAR when everyone is
concerned about powerhouse teams dominating the sport and what can be
done to control it, ANOTHER team announced the addition of a fourth
car to their stable! Is it possible that racing is going to be
monopolized into eternal boredom? This is making my ass tired!
I'm a Dale Jr. fan, sure, I have no problem admitting that. However,
I think even I would get bored if he began winning every weekend!
This season has been refreshing thus far for two very good reasons
(my opinion only): There have been five different winners in six
races, AND, "Cry Baby Gordon" and "Jimmmie with his Johnson" haven't
won yet! Oh sure, eventually I'll eat crow over that, but it's my
dream world and I'm going to hold onto it as long as I can! Pretty
soon, there will be no one but Hend(p)rick, Roush, and now Childress
cars winning on Sundays! I love RCR! After all, my favorite driver
of all time made Richard a lot of money before he died so
tragically. However, his announcement at thiefing the General Mills
sponsorship away from Petty to add a fourth car troubles me. It
illustrates how modernization of NASCAR is what is going to kill it.
Though I would guess this will make betting in Vegas a hell of a lot
easier! I'm not a suit, sitting behind some huge desk with all sorts
of certificates hanging on my wall who's educated enough to figure
out a solution. It would seem that the writing is on the wall
regarding the future of cup series racing. You now will have three
teams which account for nearly one third of the entire starting
grid. WTF?
It would be neat if we all could muster the will power to boycott
NASCAR for one season, and attend nothing but local track events.
However, I don't even have that sort of will-power, so I sure has
shit wouldn't ask that of my fellow loyalists. We can sit and wonder
what kind of impact that would have. The ultimate in fan-speak!
