It's about time. I'm not a NASCAR fan in the least. As a matter of fact, I probably wouldn't notice if it just went completely away. However, we were discussing the old Monte Carly "Aeroback" that came out in the late 80's the other day at work and how the manufacturers used to turn out special models to get a modification to be legal for competition. Those days seemed to be long since dead and gone, but it appears that there could be a turn around. And frankly, the France family is making a ton of money and seem to be getting even more greedy. I'd love to see them get knocked down a little bit by the manufacturers. Maybe they'll make a race series out of it after all...

Whoa!

I like what the big 3 are saying, but does their checkbook carry that kind of stroke?

If all 3 quit writing checks, the whole thing could tank, or at least be seriously reduced in scope. No parts/engines will make it fun to make the cars go. No OEM support will really hurt, some more than others, but it will hurt them all.
