state of NASCAR

The fans in the stands or butts in the seats, Show that NASCAR, is dying. Be it from the economy or the lack of racing, could be the cause, for the fall off of fans. Simple question? Why does the GM's have to look like Fords, Dodges and Toyota??
When did going too fast abandon Racing??
When did the dailey commute become more dangerous than Racing??
NASCAR became a profit only enterprise with the COT, the restrictor plate And the least possible hazard, to a broken finger nail.
I'm 65, built and ran 'hobby stocks' for three years. Left because a wife and kid cost more than racing. Seeing 140 on the speedometer was the thrill. NASCAR will never spoil that for me. Watching a bunch of matchbox cars parading around and around under a yellow flag is not Racing, and never will be.
Insperation for perseration is no longer "alive"  

I agree NASCAR is cutting its own throat. The "chase" is a joke. Identical cars is a joke. In the final few races of the season, ther're 30 cars literally cruising around because NASCAR instructed them to leave the "chase" contenders alone, once again, a joke. Real racing involves trying to win no matter when, where, or who you are competing against.  
I have been racing locally since 2001. Although car count is down due to the unstable economy, the fan base remains somewhat stable. It is not a linear curve comparing car count to fan count. My point is, "real" racing goes on every summer weekend across the country, and these "real" racing fans continue to enjoy the local excitement. NASCAR to racing is like WWE to wrestling. Although both can be entertaining at times, they are both simply shows to make money. Wheather it is the imiginary debris cautions to attempt to re-group the field towards the end of the race (depending of course on what big-name driver needs to catch up) or lap after identical lap on a cookie-cutter 2 mile boring speedway. Sunday afternoons are left for nap time, in order to re-coop from the excitement of the night before at the local track.  

Thats what I'm kinda getting at. The Best racing is usually local. I mean that in a relative way. How many tracks, dirt and paved, are in the Atlanta metro area?
Heck, I can't remember right now, but we ran at Dixie,
West Atlanta in Douglasville, Rome, Thunder Mountain, somewhere in Canton. The excitement and the fun was all
the odd ball tracks. Never a Friday, Saturday, and some
Sundays. That was FUN racing.
That's kinda what NASCAR WAS. Now the Most important thing is the rolling billboards, that use to be RACE CARS.
What happen's if a middle of the pack car, gets on a hot streak, and wins the last ten races??? Be some crawfishing going on.. Apoplexy for NASCAR...  

NASCAR will rise again only when all the motor companies come together to do something about it.
