Daytona 500

[Chubminnow]

Those were fun days at the track most of the drivers were sleeping in there station wagons going from track to track helping each other out and were not racing because of the money they were racing because it was in their blood and they were all mechanics worked on the car hauled the car. I think it was better racing then than it is now.

Agreed!!! NASCAR today ain't nothing more than glitz and glamour in my opinion...everyone runs the same exact thing. Guess I used to like NASCAR more back when I was a kid, before Corn Flakes, Tide, M&M's etc were sponsering cars...after the sponsers got involved or after it become hugely popular across the country it became boring to me, or maybe I just found better things to do with my time, not sure which.

Now days the only races I watch are the Daytona 500 (except this year I didn't)...and sometimes it's nice to watch the Bristol race just because of how much bumpin' goes on and Watkin's Glen...but I hardly ever watch those races either.

I think Political Correctness killed a lot of the fun, as well as censorship, and NASCAR trying to uphold a good "image". It continues to get worse as NASCAR keeps pushing their diversity program.

A recent article hit the nail on the head:
