It’s amazing what big corporate sponsorship money can do,
including the powers at be at the Automobile Industry. Not
going to blame one man knowing those involved: Team Owners,
Drivers, Crew Chiefs, Officals, those broadcasting the great
show, aren’t a bunch of one eye blind the other closed
dummies. If so wrong, how can supporting any of them knowing
they are INSIDE, right?

Saying and doing - takes more but I do commend and respect
Stewart for standing the ground against the bull. But the
bull did win didn’t it. Juat have to watch and listen to
how happy they are - got the life.

Finally someone other than Stewart is bringing the truth about NASCAR out to the fans.

Now if the rest of the drivers would step up and back Stewart, NASCAR would see that the fans and drivers support Stewart. And maybe the France family would get out racing finally. (Well at least Brian France)

If more drivers would talk about this, maybe more people will realize this and something will change.

NASCAR has made a blatant contradiction with that restriction on Toyota.

Hendrick, anyone? I don’t even like buying into the Hendrick conspiracy but you can’t deny that every team through out NASCAR’s history who has been successful consistently has had some type of mechanical superiority over the other teams. That’s just what good teams and engineering gets you. NASCAR needs to stop pussy footing and just make this the IROC series (minus the phantom debris cautions). That’s where rationale like this would lead.

Amen, Axel Foley. Amen.

I knew tony’s comment would escalate into making other drivers stand up about nascar manipulating the races. Good job Mike..and a big pat on the back for Tony.. hopefully this keeps going and gets the word out to every driver and more of them start complaining.. who knows what could happen?

and IROC racing ain’t that bad… Just if NASCAR could stop trying to control things like a puppet show.

hes right. if a company comes up with a part that meets specs and makes the car faster, let them race it thats what racing is about. they did it so now its up to the other companies to make their cars faster, thats why it is racing. it seems like they are trying to make it all driver skill, not horsepower advantage. if your car cant make enough horsepower to win, its your problem to make it faster, not slow everyone else down because of someone. if your car isnt fast enough to make a race, then maybe u need to go to a different series. just my 2 cents.
