NASCAR Does it Again

Well bull**** oops I can't afford to say that. Cost Tony Stewart $25.000 and 25 owners points, but Kyle Petty can say F**k on TV during a race and NASCAR said it was an accident. The above isn't what this rant is about. Yesterday during the Busch Race, Robby Gordon took the lead and then there was an accident behind them. NASCAR threw out the caution "and then" under the yellow, the #59 car spun out Robby Gordon. During the reply you can see the corner marshal waving the yellow right before Robby goes spinning by. As a result NASCAR said Robby had to go to 13 position, but Robby said he should be in the lead. The almighty governing body decided not only not give Robby the win for Saturday he's not allowed to drive at Pocono. I've been on the fence about NASCAR and I' won't watch any more.

Too bad. You missed a great race today. Kurt Busch ran away with it leading 175 laps. Jr. fell into 13th place in the run for the cup.

Attendance is starting to drop some and TV viewership is off by almost 30%

They need to realize that people really don't like rules of any kind. They WANT fastest car and BEST driver, no holds barred..... Personally I never watched the stuff anyway. Seems too much like professional wrestling.

I was told as much years ago by a well-known driver (who will remain nameless), when I ran a drag racing chat... it was painfully obvious to me this was the case when Jr. won Daytona's July race the year Sr. died.

Makes the WWE look almost legitimate by comparison.
