What are your suggestions to improve NASCAR? (gas, car, money)

Tony Stewart already recommended that one for 'Dega.

They should make NASCAR better by putting wing-type spoilers on the cars.

Didn't they originally try that on the COT ??

I think it was sarcasm.

[mco65]

yea, I think its all coming back to me now. They had the wing on the COT for the first few races and it was a disaster so they went back to the spoiler..

Make it more like Death Race 2000, with posts coming up from the track on occasion.

Put such a priority on winning races that a driver basically couldn't win the Chase without race wins. Not clear on how that would work but I see too many drivers laying back once they're guaranteed a spot in the Chase.

Tighten up how the Nationwide Series allows non-NS drivers to participate. Joey Logano has won nine races in a series he gets no points for. That means nine races that up and coming drivers couldn't win. There needs to be more separation between the series. Is there any other sport where the premier players can also compete regularly in the lesser series?

Lighten up on the caution flags. Throwing a flag because someone gets a bit sideways doesn't really help. OTOH, a yellow should definitely have been thrown in Phoenix today near the end of the race. Danica would not have taken that nasty hit under caution.

EDIT-more fights, like today's. Nice to see some passion. That was a stupid and unwarranted response by Gordon.

I agree with that. I also would prefer to see a points system that didn't have so much depth to it. Maybe as such:

1st-100
90
88
87
86
85
84
83
82
81
80
79
78
77
76
15th-75
16 on down-0

I don't like seeing so many debris cautions, but eliminating them may be a problem, too.

No "guests" to just drive road courses. If you drive at all, it should be at least half the season.

Lime Rock? How would that be for a NASCAR event? I love that and Road America for other series.
