Why does Nascar throw a yellow for EVERYTHING? R.Gordon just spun out by
himself and never touched anything yet we still get a LONGGGGG yellow flag?
Why? It wasnt this way just a few years ago.
Nascar is becoming more and more difficult to watch each week. One giant
Advert it seems. Brian France should be FIRED for destroying Nascar (maybe
not destroying it for themselves because they still rake in boo coup TV cash
but rather destroying it for the fans). Nascar is now all show and no
go.... How many old time fans are as fed up as I am? Not just for the
above but for ALL the changes including foreign mfg's, lucky dog crap, the
chase BS along with Nascar itself sucking up all the good sponsors etc etc.
No balls racing isnt racing at all......
Typical when its all about nepotism and zero about knowledge or skill.

Just wait until next year when the "car of tomorrow" starts to run. They
then will be identical, except for decals. NASCAR started downhill in
the mid 80's. It's all about the money now. Racing, if you want to call
it that, is not important to NASCAR anymore.
If I recall correctly, when they announced the new points system,
nowhere did they mention racing. It was all about making it entertaining.
Like Jeffy Gordon said when he signed to drive in NASCAR, "It's where
the money is" He didn't say anything about racing.

American Sports - NASCAR, football, basketball = many timeouts to slip in TV
commercials
Worldwide Sports - soccer and formula one = longer periods of action that
don't lend as easily to TV commercials
My suspicion is that even if soccer and formula one become more popular with
American fans, American TV executives will not promote them because of the
increased difficulty in slipping in the commercials.

Well, if action is defined by a couple of grown men jumping on top of each other
and then struggling for 2 minutes to get on their feet again, then you're right...
Hey, but that's 2 min. worth of commercials. They have action, right? ;)

|One person's action is not another person's action. It's a bit
narrow-minded, I believe, to think that just because you or anyone else
finds Soccer or Formula 1 devoid of action, then it must be so. There are
many who think basketball or football or NASCAR are action-less. You like
what you like, without damning those who don't like what you like.
I love Formula One and find Soccer intriguing. But the general premise and
subject of this thread is probably correct. If money can't be made (and
that's all most people think about, as if they can take all their money with
them, to the grave and beyond), then no one has any interest.

I'm not sure when you became super moderator of the newsgroup, but I
don't need the lecture about "narrow-mindedness". Last I checked, I was
still entitled to express my opinion. If you, or anyone else doesn't
agree, then feel free to express your own opinion.
I do enjoy F1 racing (in fact prepping for the USGP). But if you are
totally honest with yourself, then you have to admit that in many ways
it is devoid of "action". I don't need constant passing, but when a
race has 1 leader and zero lead changes, then something isn't right. In
contrast, the GP2 series adds a little bit of ground effects to the
cars and now they can run nose to tail lap after lap and even challenge
one anothers position ON TRACK.
Silverstone, a week or so ago. Aside from Shumi "passing" Kimi via the
pits, what else was exciting? Fred Alonso walking away AGAIN? The lap 1
melee with Ralf, Speed and another driver? Jenson Button showing why he
is tremendously overrated? Heck, I'll even throw in anything related to
Super Aguri!

Huh? He responded with his opinion after you stated your opinion.
Moderator? When? How?
Well, we could talk about your top posting...

Somehow I think that Jeff Gordon could have driven that Corvette around
Infineon Raceway without ending up in a fiery crash like Dale Jr. did....
