From humble beginnings to mega-million dollar teams, NASCAR is more American than apple pie. Your thoughts about the Race, Chase, and Stages?

I've been watching NASCAR since the 1950s. I've seen it grow from a few tracks and virtually no rules to several distinctly different series, massive amounts of money spent by teams, sponsors, and fans, and more rules and limitations on the sport than Carter has pills. It is so bad, I have all but lost interest. NASCAR and the teams have made it an incredibly safe sport, considering the drivers are hurtling around paved tracks at speeds between 120 mph and 225 mph, depending upon the track. But here's what NASCAR has done wrong: there are so many car, track, and driver rules, that there is microscopic room for individuality. I hate it. I hate the way NASCAR has screwed around with stupid points, year after year. A few years back, they started this assinine Chase format, to which they added, this year, an even more assinine format called Stages. I would witnessed it up close and personal at Daytona in February. It sucks. NASCAR-loving RP'ers: it is no fun watching forty cars that are built alike, drive alike, and look alike, except for paint schemes, drive in circles. I hate the Chase, I hate the Stages. I wish NASCAR would let the boys just race. It IS incredibly safe. So, let the drivers drive, let the builders fudge a bit here and there, and get rid of those goddamn restrictor plates. In other words, bring the danger and the individuality back. NASCAR will be just fine. So, whaddaya think???
