In a way I like the restricted testing on Cup tracks because it keeps the Haves and Have nots a bit closer, but I think for 2008 they should have opened testing back up on any track from 1/1/08 to 12/31/08, and then for 09 went back to the restrictive testing policy.

That NASCAR actually decides what's what and that isn't fair to the drivers. There's only so much you can adjust or adapt to with the new cars. There must be something to it because even the lower tier teams have complained. I heard that the front spring and shock packages suck.

I think what he's trying to say, which is how I feel, is that the drivers are complaining a little too much or maybe even whining about the new cars. We all know that they are here to stay. They are complaining that they are hard to drive, well, if that's the case, give it time, adapt and overcome. Besides, who says that driving in NASCAR's top series is supposed to be easy? Who says that the same guys that were on top last year should still be on top this year? I think things are fine. Yeah, of course there are some issues, yes, issues, not problems, with the new car, but it's still a new car, new being the key word there. It will all be worked out in time. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the racing. If your a driver, then I don't think the relaxing part will work, but you can still sit back in your seat, drive the race car, and enjoy it. Learn how to drive the new car, and you won't have anymore problems, adapt to it. But please, I'm a little sick of hearing the complaining about the car and all the comments and questions asking NASCAR to change this rule and change that rule, because we all know NASCAR, they aren't exactly going to roll over and make major changes, they are going to do what they want, they always have and always will. Anyway, that's my take on it. Well, I think I may, may being the key word, see his (Kenny Bruce) point.
