I somewhat agree with you. I hate to say this but Nascar has gotten too popular. The additions of California, Texas, Las Vegas and a few other season edits and splices have taken away from the 'charm' Nascar used to have for me. Do we really need more than one track that has the same footprint as Michigan? Charlotte? Every track used to be unique, now they're just filler for more advertising, extending an already long season. Pretty soon they'll be racing 50 weekends a year.
This new 'chase for the cup' thing is stupid and has permanently lost me as a Nascar fan. And docking jr. POINTS for a slip of the tongue is beyond ridiculous. He EARNED the win and should be fined, nothing more. It's just more proof that the Nascar organization has grown too large too fast and are unable to control their own hubris.
