I think one of the main reasons for wrecks now is the drivers feel even more invulnerable due to the added safety features (HANS device and others). There have been a lot of bad crashes since the passing of #3 and the drivers have walked away unscathed. And most of the time there's no repercussion for causing crashes. I'm all for safety but it's led to awful racing late, the point where it should be the most exciting.
NASCAR is unwatchable now. Just televise demolition derbies if you like wrecks. Or watch reality tv if you like the soap opera stuff.
