[QUOTE="Sonic605hp, post: 13255146, member: 28793"] I agree to some extent. But they do have segments in regards to the technology in the cars pretty often in pre-race. I think they cater to the majority of the fans who just want to see cars going fast and crashing. Showing the drama of fights or whatever else appeals to that type of fan. As far as hearing about sponsors, that will never end because that's what makes the sport possible. New tracks and towns won't change the fans but it will bring more sponsor dollars. NASCAR, IMO is very prrogressive in trying to produce a better product year over year. The racing this year has been great and the have it boys mentality is a kin to NASCAR's roots. I do agree with most of what you said though in regards to being more PC and that the camping and pregaming is where it's at. What drivers are divas? I mean the drivers are all highly competetive and want nothing more than to win; you don't think they're going to vent after things happen on the track and they have a camera in their face 10 minutes later? I don't know what you guys are talking about with the soap opera drama....you talk about back in the day and the drama was awesome. Rivalries are what makes great storylines in any sport. Back in the day they was plenty of that, including fights on and off the track. And to say the drivers are underpaid is hilarious, THEY bring in the sponsors and all the TV revenue based on their personalities and performance. (except Danica) Really? I go to a couple races a year and don't know many people spending $100+ per ticket for a buffet and some beer with no interest in watching a race. That sucks for you because you're missing some the best drivers in the history of the sport. If Jimmy Johnson continues the way he has he will go down as the best driver in the history of the sport, Changes for the worse after Sr.'s death? Making cars safer so people aren't killed is a bad thing? The COT was definitely not ideal but the new car puts on a good show and NASCAR let's these guys drive aggressively like in the od days. I don't understand why everyone is pissed NASCAR wants to attract new fans....that's how business works; maintain the base and grow your market share. The core of the sport is still there, guys driving insanely fast cars very aggresively with exciting finishes week after week. It's very seldom that there is not an exciting competitve finish for the races this year. I don't know about underpaid....the drivers in the chase last year made anywhere from $5-20+ million last year. [/QUOTE]
