Default RE: Series Formerly Known As Busch to Pony Up

I agree RLSH700. What killed my interest in Winston Cup (now Nextel Cup) racing was when NASCAR itself took over the design of the cars and not allowing the auto companies' actual designs to have any influence on the cars. Even in the late 1980s and early '90s, the cars had to at least use the hood, trunk lid and roof of a real car and the cars had to fit templates submitted by the manufacturers. Now, the cars that are raced have absolutely no similarity except in name to the production models. I'd much rather go down to San Antonio Speedway and watch a bunch of old Mustangs and Camaros race, because at least they're real cars. NASCAR would be better -- especially on the short tracks where any type of high speed in impossible anyway -- to use REAL production cars with the real engines and real powertrains. Let's see which of the manufacturers' products actually is the best. That might get me interested in NASCAR again.
