Done with NASCAR, they don't care if they loose fans over being so called PC.

Sorry for the confusion I was a big RCR and Dale Earnhardt fan and I don't like seeing the #3 on the track that will always be Dales number I like Austin but I wish he would get his own number Same with Chase Elliott I hope he gets the #9 and not the #24

Having said that, absolutely no offense to the drivers and teams that must work in a constricted and artificially managed environment.

"Managed competition".......George, is that the same as orchestrated racing?

Just a thought... eliminate the GWC at plate tracks or line 'em up single file if a caution waves within the last 5 laps?

I lost interest in NASCAR when they stopped using stock cars.

As I understand it, that's what happened in Sundays race when someone spun on the backstretch and then took off again, not hitting anyone or thing, resulting in a Green-White-Checkered scenario which NASCAR seems to LOVE!!!!!

depend on who spins if its jr. They don't want him a lap down they throw the yellow if its a nobody they keep Racing.
