If you think NASCAR races are long now, just wait until Obama wins in November.
His campaign fully supports NASCAR, he just wants to mandate one change...

Toll booths.

Get rid of the stupid COT and make the cars have bodies more similarly shaped to the actual production cars. Fox coverage only. Scrap the restrictor plates. More tire suppliers than just Goodyear. Race on more tracks. More road races. 4 car team maximum. Each team manufacture their own engines.

I've called every Ford dealership in the country.None of them can get me a RWD Fusion with 800 hp.

What was it called when auto manufacturers had to build and sell 100 of an engine or a car to make it legal for the track? Was it homoligized? I remember when they built one hundred Boss 429 engines, and 100 Thunderbolts, just to make them legal.

That's not surprising; since, NASCAR doesn't have any of them either.

They had to build 500 cars to be elligible for NASCAR.

Yeah id like to see a fusion out there with a cobalt with an upgraded frame so when they hit the walls the drivers would be fine. But back in the day they called it STOCK car for a reason. Now all the cars look the same theres nothing Fusion about the Fusion out on the track. Take it back old school and id watch. If we wanna see somthing really funny let the wifes drives...."Women drivers No survivors"
