I started watching NASCAR about a decade ago, and I agree it's sad to see so many of the drivers that I'm familiar with leaving. These are the guys who led NASCAR through an unprecedented period of growth, and I think much of the credit for the increased popularity goes to them. Rusty was definitely one of my favorites, great guy and a great ambassador to the sport.
There's some good young drivers to get excited about though, most of them seem to have the competitive spirit to keep things interesting. It's all good.
