Nascar needs to do something to bring back the excitement in racing. People use to say racing is boring. Now, they are right. It is totally boring. I am tired of seeing the same ole show each week. Jimmy Johnson just won his 7th championship and will probably win an 8th. However, he would have only won 2 if the old point system was in place.

Richard Petty and Dale Sr. did it under the old points system. Jimmy Johnson is not half the driver that these guys were. So, how do they get back to the grass roots of Nascar??? Until Bruton Smith and the France Kid get out of it, it will never return. They ruined it, single handily!! They buy track and closed them because they thought the grass was greener on the other side of the fence. It worked for a year or two, but it isn't working anymore. It is a shame that N. Wilkesboro sits in disrepair and could be sold out for 2 events each year while they race at tracks that are not even half full with fans.

It is a shame. Rockingham is the same way. Some of the team owners need to go too. Rick Hendrick and his entire stable need to retire, Richard Childress needs to go with his "born with a silver spoon grand kids" with no talent and a Jr. Circuit championship that was given to him. That was so obvious that it made me sick. They had better shift gears to low and get back to the original tracks that made them what they are today or they will begin to her the roar of the engines with no fans to support the sport.

There has not been a true racer since Bill Elliott retired. I think he was the last name that was involved in the surge through the 80's and 90's and not much since. Jeff Gordon, Dale Jr. Tony Stewart, Dale Jarrett and a handful of others were racers, but not to the standard that it use to be. The NASCAR ship has sailed and it is sinking faster and faster with every change they try to make to plug the hole.
