NASCAR Needs to Change

This sport is no longer watchable. NASCAR has completely ruined this sport. There’s no competition, the cars aren’t and don’t look like stock cars. They go down the straight aways sideways. And the point system is a joke. And 90% of the caution flags are for debris. This by far is the most boring of NASCAR seasons ever.

I know I’m not the only one who thinks this way, just look at all the empty seats at all of the races. The ticket prices are outrageous and the excitement and thrill of the sport is gone. NASCAR needs to make some serious and drastic changes for next year, to try and make it more competitive as well as put the excitement back in the sport for the fans.

One of my ideas would be to give a quarter point to a driver for every lap he leads, that way you don’t have drivers busting their tail to lead just one lap to get there five bonus points and then drop back. If a driver gets a quarter point for every lap he leads then that gives them some incentive to race for the lead every lap. Then you have the tire situation they had at Indy, that was a joke. Here you have one of the most traditional races on the schedule and they have to throw a caution every 10 or 12 laps to change tires.

NASCAR needs to go back to the old days where they didn’t mandate everything and let these guys set their car up the way they want to and let them go racing. I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m done watching this sport until something is done to make it more exciting. And as much as I hated to do it, I gave up my Bristol tickets. It’s no longer worth the time and money to make that trip twice a year.
