Dale, I walked away from NASCAR Racing with Winston after the 2003 season. At that time, we Racers had conversations very similar to what you are having now; and they weren't pretty. Someone said this past week to me that the old Latford point system racing was boring; back then we talked about that also. The reason NASCAR dropped the Latford point system was because NASCAR could not stand having their Champion win the Cup before the final race of the season. Although, this happens everywhere in Automobile Racing up to this point, but NASCAR had to change that. That is something that can only happen in a true "Sport." Here is the Rub Dale: Prior to Winston and the Latford point system NASCAR was not ready for Prime Time, nor was it national outside of its own mind. It was the point system that brought all the big name racers to the track every race for the entire season. It is what made NASCAR what it was at that time - a true American Sport. Prior to that, NASCAR was actually seen as boring by most because it was, by lack of driver participation. Back in 2003 I decided that NASCAR did want to be like other Stick and Ball sports. The problem is Racing is not a game like the others; that is a divide that can not be crossed. Playing Games in race cars is not a sport, it is just plain silly games in race cars. So, I will leave you with this: think of racing like boxing; the Champ is supposed to KO his opponent in 3 rounds of a 12 round bought... Racing is not a Game, it is a Sport! What would Stages look like in Boxing? Maybe NASCAR can buy that Gig too and Fuck it up. And, the dumb-shit is just going to get more dumb; you can't fix stupid. Ya' All are late comers to the conversation. I am here because I told you all so, a long time ago; now you know why are you here. And You are not seeing Racing anymore, and you can not see the forest from the trees either...
Bell was a victim of this manipulation. What choice did he have .? The wall ride was part of wreck cause the pass involving the 23 it was not premeditated. Byron knew what was going on and didn't stop it.

dale with another great take.
Thanks for watching
couldn't agree more. NASCAR has lost the plot with all this. i appreciate pivotal moments, but not every sunday.
Bell was a victim of this manipulation. What choice did he have .? The wall ride was part of wreck cause the pass involving the 23 it was not premeditated. Byron knew what was going on and didn't stop it.
