Dr. Bud & the NASCAR Nation.
All I can say is, AMEN, brother! You hit the proverbial nail right on the head with your articulate column this week. Count me in as one of the "hundreds of thousands" of people like you that has had it with NASCAR.

NASCAR?
You guys are absolutely right about the current state of NASCAR. I used to love watching Richard Petty and others driving cars that you might see on the street. Now, sadly the fans of NASCAR are only drawn by all the pretty colors. They won't miss the presence of the Detroit manufacturers because the new cars will still have lots of pretty colors.

Exactly how I feel...
Just finished the Road Kill column about NASCAR Nation. YES! Exactly why I’m soon to be an ex-NASCAR fan! I was a fan before the boom, and what I see now is not the NASCAR I used to love. When Mark Martin hangs it up, I’m gone. From the “Car of Tomorrow” (wtf kind of name is that anyway?), to the snotty little brats they market as The Young Guns, I’ve had enough of NASCAR. You know what? There’s a dirt stock car track right here in my hometown. There’s a nice 1/8 mile drag strip. And, there’s a decent little quarter midget track. I think all my hard-earned dollars will now go to support the local drivers out there doing what they do out of love for the sport.
I think they could use it more than the France family.
Count me as one NASCAR fan who thinks you got it absolutely right. Thanks!
