I don't think it's lost it's luster, it has just changed.. Over the last few years, there has been a "changing of the guard" with guys like Wallace going out and Kahne coming in.. That's just part of it.. And a multi-car team is a must now days to be competitive and it is all about money.. But I still think most of the drivers are still driven by winning.. Stewart for example will race anything and anytime he gets the chance.. The sport is more competitive now than it has ever been and IMO the drivers are the best that they have ever been.. Most of the "kids" out there driving have been doing it since they were 5 years old and they are good.. I love it!
