Why is NASCAR abandoning its roots?
I was a NASCAR fan before most of y'all were born... I'm not quite old enough to remember Fireball Roberts, but I do remember that young buck Dale Earnhardt showing up and watching Jaws try to put him in his place. I remember seeing some guy with a bad moustache making his Cup debut at Atlanta in 90 or 91 driving the 24 car in what was Richard Petty's last race. He hadn't done a thing in the Grand National series, so nobody really talked much about him.
What I'm getting at is the fact that I didn't type WINSTON Cup a minute ago.... and next year we won't be typing BUSCH Grand National.....
NASCAR has alienated alot of old fans with this "Nextel" Cup, this Car of Tomorrow, this drive named Jaun (problem-after-another) Montoya, and now they're dropping Busch as the second-tier series' title sponsor.
What's next? The Kotex 500? The Treehugger at the Glen?

With Teresa continuing to be.... well.... 'difficult'... What about Gibbs buying the rights to the #3 from RCR?
THAT would be cool.
