All I know is that its going to kill me seeing Kenseth behind that Toyota in every race now. I don't think it will ever set in.

I think Danica is a damn good driver and glad shes getting attention..

Flame suit is on!
I wouldn't flame you for that. Jr is and has always been a less than adequate driver. He has ridden on the fame of his name his entire career. But he carries a huge fan base and popularity because of the name and therefore he gets the attention from the media. Gotta give the people what they want. And of course Nascar is always looking for personality to cash in on. Just like the Danica craze. She to is unimpressive but let her get one poll and they will exploit it to no end hoping to pick up some female veiwers.

Above 200 mph, the cars go airborne themselves, without interaction from panther car. In order to get
rid of the plates, they would have to slow the cars down. No way to do that without spending a crap load of money unless they go to smaller HP engines at all the tracks, and that will never happen.
You're missing my point. The speed they run wasn't the reason the car went through the fence. The fence design with the gate right at the point of impact was the reason the car went through.

The main reason for the wreck is the cars are cookie cutter.

Also the reason it's boring as hell. I don't get it. The IROC series never took off and became popular because it was all cookie cutter but the brilliant minds at Nascar some how thought the cup series would prosper from this Dumbasses

That's what's annoying. Also take away all the sponsors and the sport doesn't exist.

And of course some of the injured fans are seeking lawyers now.

When they start running hollowed out, souped-up grocery getters with roll cages, I'll develop some interest in the sport beyond an occasional passing glance at news articles and Internet threads.

She is the end of the friggin downfall of Nascar. She can go back and pound sand with the toy Indi cars. I want to see 80's style with Winston cigarettes, Skoal cans, and 100% white trash/hillbilly/redneck racin' and cheatin'.
