Paul,
I'm agree with you completely. It just seems the Lucky Dog rule has been used to much to benefit some people. And then they will run a bunch of laps under caution, which is now becoming more and more the major part of the race. I really believe the running half the race under caution and showing so little of the actual racing is hurting NASCAR more than they realize. I did like the stopping of the racing back to try and get a lap back as that was creating a lot of danger. Now if they would just do away with some of their other ridiculous rules and show the racing when they are not at commercial and such stuff as Jeff Hammon water skiing at Daytona and all the other crap, they may regain some of their popularity. And I wish they would just call the car they designed the NASCAR car and forget about trying to pass them off as Fords, Chevy, & etc. I saw a report on the NASCAR site that France is going to look into their big drop in ratings and see what can be done to bring them back up.
