    For me it was probably when the Car of Tomorrow came out. That was ugly and for a while all the cars looked the same. This new generation car looks good, but outside of the 2014 package, it's been boring.

    I got to watch a bit of Dover on Monday cause work was a bit slow. Wow, that was a boring race. The Xfinity races and the Truck races that Kyle Busch aren't in are better.

      I started getting turned off in the mid 90's when I saw that they seem to be rigging the races. The Ford Thunderbirds were kicking ass, so NASCAR started handicapping them so that the Chevy's and Pontiacs could keep up. Yet, when the Chevy's started winning, they didn't do anything. After that, they started manipulating the rules more and more to keep everyone competitive and it all became too commercial and synthetic. That's how they've ruined the sport for me. Just let them race.

                the teams need the field to be full, 32 trucks, to get the tv money. There weren’t enough trucks to fill the field as of friday, so i got a call to take a green flag, run 3 laps and park it. as of today, 2 more trucks have entered so i may be relieved of my duties lol
