Micromanaging by NASCAR, the constant rule changes (let'em race to the yellow), point system changes, the restrictor plate, the COT & now maybe the Engine of Tomorrow. You've got to be kidding me!
I'd love to hear Dale Earnhardt's take on this if he were still alive! No more drivers like him on the track except for maybe Tony Stewart.
I'll take the early days of NASCAR when the drivers were not afraid to put a bumper on somebody or settle their differences with other drivers out back behind the hauler. I'm glad I still have tapes of races from the 30 years ago that I can playback.
I never thought I would say it but the races today don't mean as much to me as they used to.
Wise up NASCAR!!

This is the exact reason that I can watch days of thunder OVER AND OVER!!! "he didnt bump you, he didn't slam you, he didn't nudge you, he rubbed you and rubbin' son.. is racin'!!"
Tony is the man! I love when he is clearly faster than the person in front of him and he just kind.. "rubs" the guy out of his way!
