I used to love Nascar, now I can't stand it. I did watch the last lap Sunday.
Too many rules changes year after year. Sponsorship dictates a lot of which teams get the best crews. Safety has diminished the thrills in a sport that's suppose to revolve around danger and suspense. Darrell Waltrip always made me cringe with his redneck babbling. I did notice for the first time Jeff Gordon in the booth. That's an added attraction which Nascar sorely needed.
I believe racing in general (Indy, trucks, ect. included) has become a sophisticated form of art rather than the rugged sport it once was. So many numbers, calculations, and strategic manner that many viewers get lost with. The risk factor has been almost eliminated. Huge crashes that appear deadly result largely with bumps and bruises where drivers walk away more angry than hurt.
