Yes, NASCAR, the only company I know of that CONTINUOUSLY changes the rules to hopefully make it better, (while usually F'n it up) ...
It use to be better than it is now, glad they DECIDED TO GO BACK TO THE WAY IT USE TO BE ...
Now if the REALLY wanted it to be about the Pole winners, then make it Pole winners ONLY.
That way you have the distinct possibility of missing out on some MAJOR drivers.
like this year with Bowyer and Keselowski not being in it
Its fine to have past winners of the shootout and I like the fact they had to at least attempt to make a race last year....so you dont have guys who dont race but come back to try because they cling onto one win (kinda like Derrike Cope who won the 1990 Daytona 500 only because Earnhardt cut a tire)
With the testing this past weekend at Daytona and one this week at Charlotte that only means one thing
Nascar season just around the corner
They tested today at Charlotte. I was in ear shot of the speedway. I was going to take a ride up to the track to check it out but I had to go look at a job, so the track visit got scratched.
It was cool to hear the cars though.
Don't forget the car changes ... the car of the future is gone.
Yep. It's about time. The common template approach took all the brand recognition out of the visible part of the cars.
At least now there is some identifiable shapes which one can point out and say "yes, that's a Camry".
Why?....Many Toyota models are built right here in the US with majority US Made parts. While some Domestics( Ha ha ) are made outside the US with majority foreign made parts.
As a matter of fact, the Ford Fusion save for the badge is essentially a foreign car. They are built in Mexico with majority foreign made parts.
Thats the way it is at the cottage on Vinyard Lake when the guys are in Michigan, you definitely know when they are running or guys are practicing.
Fwiw, when they show the aerial view of MIS top right corner shows the lake.
note that the sponsor thing can change but from where I got that info
Best Buy, Fifth Third Bank and Zest will return in 2013, with each increasing their commitment in 2013. With their involvement, the majority of Stenhouse's races for 2013 are fully sponsored

Oh boy, a NASCAR forum!
I am a Carl Edwards fan and my wife is a massive Casey Mears fan. I must say, we have met Casey over 25 times and he is a great guy. We stopped by the race shop back in June and he was there. He spent over an hour with us just talking racing and his family. So yeah, I am a Casey Mears fan as well.

Isolationism is failed policy. Trade wars are a waste of time. Nobody wins.Call me isolationist or whatever but if you want foreign car makers racing call it FASCAR or the like...
My take..If a manufacturer can create a car that can compete, bring it on.
