NASCAR can revitalize their sport. It just takes a little imagination; Start half the field in one direction, the other half in the opposite direction. Or, how about The Timken 250? Ball bearings blown onto the track in the middle of turn 4 at a given lap, chosen by a lottery winning viewer at home. Or, Boiler plate wall at the start finish line just hydraulically popping up on say, lap 112?
This would curb the cry baby factor down, and most of the fans would be back in the empty seats. :idea:
I had a guy say the same thing about drag racing. He said to put 2 concrete walls at the finish line with a hole big enough for one car. Then let's see who gets there first.
