What in the world is wrong with you people? Sure there was some single file racing, but in between that was some WOW incredible racing. I don't know what race all the complainers were watching, but a large portion of Dega was made up of some awesome racing, I mean just look at the race statistics, how many races have that many green flag passes, lead chages, different drivers leading, etc? VERY FEW. Complain about 47 laps of singel file racing? What about 200 laps of someone running away from the field at Fontana, 100 laps of someone owning the field at Atlanta, 100 laps of someone smoking everyone at Pocono? Rarely hear anyone but the old schoolers complaining about those.
To say that Dega was a boring race is to concentrate on 47 laps of racing.
Complain about how dangerous it is? What? Dega is no more dangerous to the fans than the dirt short track out in the county. Dega has always had it's wrecks, they are going to happen, that's part of it, but lately cars have been flying around, that hasn't always been the case, the old car didn't have that issue, the old old cars didn't have that issue. The issue is this new safer CoT. That Ricer Tuner Fast and the Furious wing on the back is great for downforce when it's point in the right direction, and great for lift when turned around backwards. Watch Newmans car, as soon as that car got backwards, it flipped immediately and landed trunk down on Harvicks hood.
Complaining about cars flipping?? No one complained and blamed the track when Logano flipped a couple of weeks ago, or any of the other cars have flipped this year. So why is it now such a big deal at Dega?
Listening to all of the writers here at Nascrap.com complaining about Talladega and trying to vilanize it is really rubbing me raw. Talladega is two of the best most exciting races of the season, trying to get them done away with will destroy Nascar, and really **** off a ton of fans. Take one race away from Dega, and you will most certainly lose a massive portion of the fan base because if you take away Dega, then Daytona is sure to follow shortly, it's no less dangerous than Talladega, the 2 to 3 MPH speed difference is negligable. You can't get rid of Dega without getting rid of Daytona, you can't get rid of Daytona, it's the great American race. But wait!!! There are even more tracks that carry similar speeds as Dega and Daytona, Atlanta has some serious high speeds, Michigan carries some serious speeds, Charlotte has some serious high speeds.
I got a fix for ya, let's just put them all in electric cars, govern their speeds and 50mph, tripple roll cage them, cover the drivers in air bag suits, and take a freaking nap, then the excitement can come when they come into pit to change out the batteries!!!
Nascar is the one responsible for the racing at Talladega, restrictor place, limiting what they can do to the cars, COT, stupid wing on the back, etc etc etc.
You want to fix Talladega? Take the stupid wing off the back and put a spoiler back on, take away the stupid bump stops and let the crew chiefs build the suspensions again, take away the stupid restrictor plate, remove the first 20 rows on the front stretch, quit micro managing the racing, and let the drivers race. There are a small minority of drivers that don't like Talladega, a large majority loved the superspeedways pre Nascar taking over everything about the race cars and turning them into IROC series type cars. There are a small minority of fans and media that don't like super speedways, a large majority that LOVE THEM STILL.
I will not stand for ragging the superspeedways, they are a part of racing, allways should be. To change the tracks is to further screw up the sport.
Keep it up Nascar, you aren't far from losing even more loyal fans that have been with you for a long time. Take just one race away from Dega, or screw with the track or the racing anymore, and I'm done with you. I don't need racing in my life, I love it, but I can drop it, and Nascar if you keep messing with it, I WILL. I'm sure I'm not in the minority here either.
I am a old school race fan and you don't hear me complaining because of the reasons you stated, so I won't repeat them. BTW, how is that new baby of your doing????
