I am fed up with the warm and fuzzyness. I car spins out and that is a problem NOT AN ISSUE. Competition Yellow is the dumbest thing I ever heard off. If the tires arn't safe then don't start the race or maybe get another tire company to supply tires. The race commerntators are teerrible and really boring with thier political correctness. I started watching NASCAR in the early seventies.I can't take it anymore ZI'm done. The Daytona 500 is on and I just turned it off. I am fed up with the warm and fuzzyness.

Jimmy Johnson is a gentleman, and it is very sad to read that, because of that, he may not "make his mark". It is especially disturbing to read a comment like that coming from an executive in the sport. Yes NASCAR is big business now, but does it have to go the way of football and basketball with the athletes acting out like a bunch of oversized, under-disciplined teenagers???
