I wonder how this will affect next season. It should be a good year.

I'm glad we're getting back to the "Shut Up and Race" attitude that made NASCAR popular to begin with. NASCAR has always tried to be a bit "tougher" than other motorsports (it's about the only one that never penalizes you for wrecking a guy to win) and it's time to embrace that again.
Earlier starts, spoilers, more attitiude this is shaping up to be a good year for NASCAR. Now we've if we just dump the fall Califonia race, make the CoT more stock and fix the TV coverage a tick (giving us a real starting line-up would be a good start) and we can get back to where we were in 2004 or so.

I miss when NASCAR actually raced real cars... Not just engines in fiberglass cases. You know, back in Petty's day. That was real racing.

Back in Richard's day only his #43, the DiGard #88, Bud Moore's #15, Junior Johnson's #11 and the part-time Wood Brothers #21 had a real chance to win. The racing is much better now. I would personally like to see a shift toward around 2002 rules or so where we do have much-safer purpose built racers that still resembled their production car rivals. Perhaps mix in a bit around 1997 so each brand is distinct with its own advantages and disadvantages. Spec high-level series fail for a reason and I think NASCAR is catching on where IROC and CART didn't (we might be able to add the IRL to that list shortly, nobody likes these Dallara-Hondas that are all too even).
