it has nothing to do with being politically correct, it has everything to do with the race cars costing $750,000-1 million bucks.

Well the cost part is a factor but when people had no budgets to speak of, the costs in relation to expense was equivalent. There was no million dollar prizes so those small paychecks hurt then too.

I mean we all knew Dale, Cale, and the rest would wreck someone if they done them wrong. Now if someone does it, they end up in trouble.

It's just not the same.

I agree completely racing is not the same sport that got people to watching it in the first place. I place the blame solely on Brian France and his bunch. They don't really care about their true fan base all they want is to "holywood" up the sport just to get more money in their pockets. I still follow racing just not like I used to. I used to go to 8-10 races a year and never missed a race on tv, but now I went to 3 races last year and didn't mind seeing them on tv or not. It just isn't any fun to not see any real fender bangin racin.

that's why I love to watch the Bristol race, I am more of a fan now, than before Dale. I would keep up with who won, but now I don't miss a race. I would like to see them go after each other a little more though. Ever since I went to my first Bristol race I've been hooked.

this is true and a lot of people feel like this. My question is why point the finger at Tony Stewart when he is carrying on this legacy that those two guys are loved for and Tony is hated for?

I don't have any problem with Stewart at all he is a true racer and don't pull any punches you know what you are up against with him.

**Monkeyhead** · February 10th, 2006, 09:30 PM

I actually like Stewart, people don't like him because he is more of a throwback style racer imo. What I really miss is true race cars, i don't like the fact that a car is just a sticker on the front of the car. They should have stayed with cars that were fixed up versions of floor models.
