and it's always funny how the various classes use the same number... and how we as fans so identify with those numbers... I mean, #20 is Tony Stewart and that's that.
It made me think back a few years... When Dale Jarret was running the #88 Ford Credit car... That was a Ford of some sort. At the same exact time, there was a #88 Pontiac, with Good Wrench colours and markings, in ARCA. I always thought that was just too funny... |

It seems with every season, even within any one series, that the number of changes are ever increasing. You can't tell the players without a program! It's hard enough to keep up in Cup, I don't even try in the other two series.

Now I have to use the leader board. You'll notice the announcers pretty much talk about the top 10 or they're plugging somebody. Not counting the wrecks of course.

While I am still a die-hard NASCAR fan, it has gotten so far away from what it used to be. I know its all in the eye of "safety" and fairness, but to me it was the best when a manufacturer brought out a new car or a new motor and they raced it on Sunday. It was true stock competition, and not a competition between engine builders.

My brother collects them, and shit I think he has enough money tied up in them to buy a real car. |

Yeah I'm sure the souvenir vendors love every minute of it. I can't believe the money they ask and that people pay for some of that crap. I've got a few die-casts, not Nascar but just some Corvettes and other stuff. Most of them are in a closet. Worthless, I ought to sell the whole lot of them. |

It was true stock competition, and not a competition between engine builders. That's why I quit watching. Even in the early 90's they were at least putting bodys on that resembled the street cars like the Lumina. Now it's just a slightly different nose and decals. It was much better in the 80's. A lot of the fans now don't care weither its Chevy or Ford or Dodge, they just want to see their TV stars. |
