ok the nascar COT sucks and i'm pretty sure thats why nascars ratings have been way down in past years.if things don't get better is it possible they may switch to another design or just go back to using stock body style cars.in my opinion i hope they do.this damn COT looks like a truck with a plow hooked to the front.
thank you ice.i completely agree with you
Answer
The COT is not the only reason ratings are down. It's some of the people in charge, how they make the decisions they do, the lack of consistency in their rulings, and their negative targeting of drivers who will not do what's in the best interest of what NASCAR wants them to do. The fact of the matter is Dale Jr is the most popular driver. It is well understood that the France family has long been threatened by the popularity of the Earnhardt family. NASCAR even tried to force Dale Jr to make a business deal with a sponsor that NASCAR was working with instead of Dale Jr using his own choice of sponsors. NASCAR was very upset and now you see what has happened to Dale Jr. They have negatively targeted Dale Jr to the point they ruined the ratings of the sport. There is nothing wrong with the sport of stock car racing. The only problem with stock car racing is the people who run NASCAR.
The COT is safer. The aerodynamics are off.

Quote from article
When Dale Earnhardt Jr. was selecting a primary licensee for his merchandise three years ago, he narrowed his choices to Motorsports Authentics, the main player in the industry jointly owned by track operators Speedway Motorsports and International Speedway Corp., and VF, a more mainstream producer and distributor.
With the decision still up in the air, France and Helton visited Earnhardt and his sister, Kelley, at their JR Motorsports shop in Mooresville, N.C.
France made it clear that Earnhardt should go with MA because it was best for the industry. Since the France family is the primary stakeholder in ISC, one of MA's owners, it was also best for the family business.
Another time, France scolded the Earnhardts inside the NASCAR hauler for striking a deal with Adidas when NASCAR's licensing office had been working on a deal to aggregate driver rights for Nike's Starter brand. When Earnhardt signed with Adidas and was no longer available, Starter ended its pursuit of a deal in NASCAR and exited the sport.
That's a side of France that hasn't been exposed as much.

When you keep the sport's most popular driver down you kill ratings. Brian France is trying to play the fans for fools.

Jeff Gordon fans, what do you think of Gordon's chances at that elusive championship?
Gordon #24
This is Gordon's words from the following article on what he thinks of his chances.. Read it and tell me what do you think:
http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/headlines/cup/09/12/cup.preview.loudon2/index.html
"I've had big leads before wiped away when the Chase started, and we're on the flipside now," Gordon said. "While it has not been a stellar year for us so far, that could change in the final 10 races. We just need to give it our best effort every single weekend and hope that we surprise them in the Chase."

What do you think?
Hey mo:
Thanks for noticing..
It's cool, huh?
I like it...
Well, to get it, you have to get a Yahoo 360 Account
You can upload a personal picture from your computer there and on your "Edit Yahoo Answers" thing, just change picture to "Use 360 Picture"... I don't understand why Yahoo Answers! doesn't allow us to do that!??
Caution: I dunno why, but there is two types of 360? I don't get that... The first one I got, I was able to download the pic but it didn't appear on Answers.. I tried the second one, and it worked!
Tall Man:
Exactly my view...only
Before he retires, I wanna see 2 or more championships!
Answer
This year he will not win the title. Last year had so much speed in every race and whenever the car came off the hauler on Friday it was fast and immediately a top ten car for the race. This year something has gone terribly wrong. I think the 24 has not adjusted to the tire combination and has not found the sweet spot on the 1.5 mile tracks.
Eventually before he retires I would like to see him win a title under the chase but I am not sure if that will happen. We'll see. I want him to win race before the season is over.
