My gripes....
Car of Tomorrow. They need the Car of Yesterday. When you look at old videos of, Earnhardt, Waltrip, Martin, Awesome Bill driving a semblance of the mfgr they represent you see how much the sport has changed.
It’s cookie cutter cars now.

Dumping some of the old tracks for ‘new blood’. The Rock, Darlington.
Reminds me of the repub party forgetting their base.

The sport grew up in the Carolinas, many of the drivers live here. NASCAR told the ‘good ol’ boys’ to shove it.

Cup drivers driving in the Nationwide Series.. That series should be for young drivers, for gaining experience.
Ban Cup drivers from the Series. IMHO at least.

Great posts - better said than I could have.

I'll add in there Fireball, Smokey, Lee Petty, Allisons, Bakers, Yarborough. Grandaddy France had the vision from the old beach races at Ponce - what a time that was.
