Howdy,

What a freakin' joke NASCAR has become. Looks more like WWE everyday.

Johnson and Martins cars failed post race inspections but NASCAR decided a couple of days later that they were OK.

Yeah, what a joke.

Empty seats? Nascar claims it is due to the economy. Doesn't look like it has hurt Pro Football any.

Dover race had +30,000 empty seats. Cowboys had a record sell out on the same day. Ohio St had +100,000 fans the day before.

Yep, doesn't look like it hurt football, so why so many empty seats? Simple. Most Nascar fans could give a rat's butt about Jimmy Johnson. Boring! He has as much personaility as a dead rat. Boring.

Plus, most tutrue fans believe that Nascar has "controlled" too many of the races so he could win are atlest have a good finish on a bad day. Plus he has been caught cheating several times and most fans believe that Nascar has looked the other way too much.

That's really funny that NASCAR looked the other way for Martin and JJ. I thought that they couldn't get worse than flying the yellow 3 times in a row giving JJ 3 consecutive lucky dog passes a few weeks ago. After the race Krous had the gumption to say that the team really worked hard to get Jimmy back on the lead lap. What a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!

NASCAR certainly is becoming more like the WWE all the time as both have their "super stars" who are able to overcome all adversity and win no matter what the odds are against them.

The problem is that NASCAR is supposed to be a legitimate racing series while the WWE refers to itself as sports entertainment.

I have to agree with you completely. NASCAR is just a joke and racing is no longer an important part of it. Anything to make sure that Jimmy Johnson gets that 4th championship in a row. I made the mistake of watching one of the NASCAR shows the other day and all they talked about was what a great job he did coming from 3 laps down and that he was unbeatable in the so called Chase. I can't even remember the show as NASCAR has flooded the market with them. NASCAR Now, NASCAR Tomorrow,. and on and on. I only watch the short track races and even then NASCAR makes sure they have one of their phantom debris cautions if JJ is having trouble If it takes running half of the race under caution to get him up front then they will. Tony steward is 5 times the driver Johnson will ever be and all they talk about is Johnson and then an Oh yes, Stewart is doing well for a first year owner.

Ron, every once in a while I will try to watch one of those NASCAR talk shows on Speed but I end up switching channels after a few minutes. I am amazed that they can go on and on and on, talking about absolutely nothing. I cannot see how even a hard core NASCAR fan can watch this nonsense for hours and hours. The fat guy will go into a very in-depth analysis as to how one driver looks in his mirrors one way while this other driver looks in his mirrors a completely different way (I'm making this up but that is probably the topic for next week).

Of course Kenny Wallace will then say something totally outrageous while trying to be serious.
