A benevolent dictatorship was what open wheel racing needed...I just am not sure Tony George is the right dictator!
NASCAR seems headed the way of WWE, 'Sports Entertainment'. The artificial 'debris flags' always annoyed me, but the engineered finishes have just made me lose interest. I really hate dash to the cash crap at the end of the season. If you want to play rules, make winning more weighted tham finishing, circular file the restrictor plates and move the engines into something relevant to today (fuel injection, multiple cams, etc) and let the track wizards have at it. I for one would love to see 3-4 hours of actaul racing on the superspeedways....
It's really too bad, because NASCAR was once a great racing series...Petty in his prime, Pearson, Parsons, Elliott; good memories.
