As NASCAR Takes More Of The Race Out Of Racing Will You Remain A Fan?

I'll still be a fan, but they need to quit making new rules, its 'Dega, its part of it, thank god they can still BD in straightaways. Oh, now I totally get this, its to keep their poster boy (Jimmie J) from getting bumped or wrecked, now I totally understand. Nascar wants to turn all the drivers into a bunch of Wusses & Pansies. Thank god I was around in the good ole days of 'Dega. Anybody that touches Jimmie today, heck they'll probably park them.

Go Dale Jr.. Bring on 2010

I'll reserve judgement until its over. I don't believe they can't bump draft at Dega. Worse case scenario it will turn into what Bristol has become with the media force feeding the suckers out there a bunch of crap about how the racing is still what it used to be. We'll continue to go to Dega nd the media will try to hype up something it isn't year after year.

That's worse case scenario. As far as remaining a fan I enjoy other tracks a lot more then Dega so I really don't care. Plus the racing style has changed here and Daytona more times then I count.

I've been a fan since I was a young'un but I can't take much more of the rule changes. This has been the most boring season ever and I find myself getting mildly annoyed by watching the sport I once loved. I'm still a fan but not as happy or enthusiastic about NASCAR.

I have already stopped being a fan of nascar. Mainly because there is no competition. Jimmy wins all the time, championship, after championship. It is too boring because of that. Most races, passing the leader is almost non existent. They get a lead and are gone. That is no fun to watch.

Its common sense to not do it in the turns... these drivers are professionals!!!! they know how to not bump in the turn. they never do it on purpose...

Bye nascar... its been a good 18 years, but you guys are losing... I'd rather watch Formula 1 or IRL. At least they're allowed to race.

F**k you, mr.france, mr. pemberton, mr. helton. shame on you. Bill France is rolling in his grave

this is NASCAR version of taking out a bloodbath in a WWE event, why, in NASCAR terms, to keep everybody safe and avoid what happened in back in the Spring race. but if you want to alienate your fans, this is it. thanks for further making NASCAR look like ******* Brian France.

It's a parade!Yawn snooze yawn..........

I am going to watch football where they stick with the rule book.

Oh yeah NASCAR doesn't have one!Piss on the powers that be!

They have always frowned on BD in the turns but it's clear that they all do it. What's worse is when a driver that sucks does it. He's the one that hurts people and causes wrecks.

NASCAR is basically saying it's okay to do it on the backstretch and in the tri-oval (front stretch). The problem is they are going into the turns too far with it. I agree with that point. The problem is is how arbitrarily will they enforce it? Will they allow Kyle Busch to bump-draft and penalize Dale Jr for it?

It's clear that drivers like Dale Jr are experts at bump-drafting. It's also clear that others doesn't need to do it.

NASCAR really can't do anything more to make me lose interest. They have pretty much accomplished that. There was a write up on NASCAR.com about how they need Kyle Busch ... bla bla bla.....!!! (By David Caraviello. http://www.nascar.com/2009/news/opinion/10/31/insi... ) I almost puked when I read his article ... as I do when I read all of his articles.

mmmmmmm....

I'm done for this year. I could care less about the rest of the season. Hopefully, next year will be better than this one.

Yes.

They didn't take it away. It is allowed on the straight aways.

They took it away on the corners to prevent wrecks. I am all for preventing wrecks. I don't watch racing for the wrecks, do you? I wouldn't call that being a fan.
