"Real racing can be found on your local track, not in NASCAR.  And it's sad 
to say that."

Case in point, this silliness about ending the race under caution.  
Talladega, where they ran the last six laps under yellow (in first gear on a 2-mile 
superspeedway) because one guy in the back of the pack spun out, didn't touch the 
wall, didn't dump any debris or fluid, just kept going around to the pits to 
change his flatspotted tires.  Ain't no lame excuse about safety concerns 
gonna make any sense out of that.

Back in the 70s in Hawaii when we were running at a 1/4 mile red clay track 
in the middle of the sugar cane fields on Saturday night, caution laps never 
counted with less than 20 to go.  We ran it like that for every class from 
claimers to super sprints -- and we got good finishes every time.  Now the big boys 
got all these weird new rules, but yet can't fix the simplest damn thing that 
would send everyone home happy.
