The hell you say.....Quite a few of them that I have met were complete asshats (again, only my opinion) Kulwicki, Cope, and Dallenbach being some of the the biggest and the one that most folks may not believe is Kyle Petty....in person, you would swear that he thinks he has his daddy's resume.
Oddly enough, two of the nicest NASCAR drivers I have had the chance to hang out with for any length of time and actually BS with were drivers I didn't/don't care for AS DRIVERS...Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon |

That being said, I still think they need to fix the middle 75% of laps of almost every race, especially at super speedways by making each lap VERY relevant for points. If they'd do THAT I think they'd find that the race's excitement would keep them profitable during football season, not the fact that no one driver has an near lock on the championship. Make a lap's leader count (every lap), make wins count a little more, and make cars start setup EXACTLY like they were when they shutdown the engine after qualifying (park them and lock them). THAT'S what this NASCAR fan of more than 30 years would like to see...

So I tend to think they're prolly all nice in their own special way, and if they aren't it's prolly because they've heard I'm a total asshole and it's just Karma...

On top of that Nascar is/was competing with the NFL for viewers toward the end of the season. The only way to keep people watching was to create a playoff system. I still think that Nascar doesnt reward enough points for wins, top 5 or even top 10. The only person in the chase with zero wins prior to Richmond was Bowyer. That's a model of consistency, but if you cant win a race, what point do you have being in a playoff. Same with Gordon...maybe the playoff should be a playoff of the winners of the first 26 races, and be done with it or weight the points to some degree so that someone in 26th place doesnt have a chance to squeak into the chase. Using your formula, Gordon would have at least 6 championships by now, but the last few races wouldnt be compelling enough to draw enough viewers over NFL (or even MLB) in the races from mid Sept-Nov. They're not going to cut their season down so something had to give. I like the chase but dont like the chase...I realize that it is what it is, something to make the final 10 races relevant. Otherwise, the Nascar season would be effectively over by Labor day.

That being said, I guess you think it's not horseshit and irrelevant that he was in the chase prior to the order being given, OVER THE AIRWAVES, to cause a caution so the standings would be altered? And that other "OVER THE AIRWAVES" manipulations were in progress in those same closing laps? I'm a Gordon fan, I get that you aren't, but your desire to keep one person out (without articulating a logical argument as to why) seems pretty ****ing stupid. I'd say your 5-year-old rendition of fairness seems to show that the Hicks running NASCAR are a LOT smarter than at least some of the fans. With that, as you wipe the tears from your angered eyes, rest easy knowing that JG probably won't stray anywhere near being the 2013 NASCAR champ...
