Including should be a critical critique of the commentators and pre race shows. Accept that the drivers need to mention their sponsors , no choice as without the paying sponsors, no racing. But when the commentators falsely interject a sponsor ....ugh
Debris on the track yellow flags......wish the controversy is settled by requiring the debris to be shown on TV and at the race track screens.
On the positive side, give NASCAR credit for including the military personnel at no cost to them, at the races. My understanding, the flyovers are at no additional cost, flight time is part of the mandatory allocation of training hours, correct or ?

Yep, ever since I can remember, seems they were partial to the GM cars, Dale Sr. could do anything he wanted on the track but if someone else tried the same thing, they were fined/sactioned!!!!!!!
I used to go to 5 or 6 NASCAR races a year, haven't been to one in at least 10 years and don't miss not being there, way too much BS for me nowadays....Can't stand half the commentators, especially Darrell Waltrip, he should just come out at the beginning of each race and say he's for Dale Jr. and any of his brother's drivers....You saw what he did and said after he WAS NOT inducted in the Hall Of Fame????? he's an a$$hole.........
Debris cautions???? yep, if the wrong guy is leading or someone is running away with it, you can bet in the last 20 or so laps there'll be a "debris caution", it's not even funny anymore....
Economics: call and make reservations at any nearby hotel for a NASCAR race, first thing they ask, is it race weekend, yes, then the rates are doubled the normal rate!!!!!!!!!!!! been there, done that, got screwed over too many times.......
Nowadays, after I eat lunch, I watch the first 20 or so laps, fall asleep on my recliner and wake up with about 50 to go, works out perfect for me............
I like Dave Despain on Wind Tunnel, he pulls no punches.......
