Ya know, I really don't care all that much for NA$CAR but this is
getting absolutely ridiculous. They fine people because the fenders are
an inch or two too wide? C'mon! At this rate NA$CAR will soon have a
set number of these roundy-round funny cars made, kept under lock and
key between races and doled out the week before a race after which
they'll confiscate them until the next one.
There's nothing stock about these cars and hasn't been for almost 30
years. To combat the boredom, the drivers are being promoted just like
wrestlers.
Way back in the Stone Age when I was a kid, everybody who knew of this
sport was deeply interested in whether it was a Ford, Plymouth (remember
them?), Chevy, Hudson, Pontiac or Dodge winning. The drivers were
secondary although they had to be cool as they were driving faster than
we'd ever gone. Where'd it all go 'wrong'?

Isn't NASCAR about cheating and skirting the rules. I think a number of
drivers and crew chiefs have admitted that trying to sneak something by is
part ot the "game", like deliberatly forcing someone off the road (the
famous "rubbin is racin'"). The rules are there, stupid as some of them
are, and they are meant to be followed. These are all smart guys who have
been in the sport a while and have car parts designed on and made by
computers, so it's tough to believe that "accidently" got some dimensions on
their cars out of spec. They broke the rules and got caught. Why shouldn't
they get punished?
