I used to be a big fan, but not so much now. Still watch the occasional race.
I have grown tired of the big money, NASCAR butting in, the cookie cutter drivers, cookie cutter cars, cookie cutter sponsors, cookie cutter wives and girlfriends, cookie cutter tracks,, ect,....
Things started going away for me when Dave Marcis retired, Dale died, Terry Labonte retired, Lake Speed, Dick Trickle, Robert Pressley, Ward Burton, Johnny Benson and a host of real drivers lost their rides or left because of money, injuries ect...........
There are only about a half a dozen real NASCAR drivers left out there. Guys like Mark Martin, Jeff Burton, Joe Nemechek (sometimes), Ken Schrader (rarely now). Most of the rest (with a few exceptions) are just snotty nosed, spoiled celebrities who drive big money round in circles.....
