Not Ranked
Bill,
I am not blaming the teams or anyone but French and his monopoly for what has happened. And to be honest, NASCAR was always my 2nd choice for racing as I grew up on road racing. And belive me,I know how hard it is now in this day of mega bucks to get sponsors and keep any team together. As I said, I still enjoy the short track races because I feel the driver and car setup has more to do than with who can get out in front.
And I do remember the Petty/Pearson crash and the Yarborough/Allison fight alongside the track. We are even losing the short track Saturday night racers around here because of the economy. This is a small area and when they shut down the logging industry years ago they basically killed it. Now stores are closing on a weekly basis and they can soon advertise it as a ghost town.
