Not to sound like old curmudgeon, but ever since Winston left the Cup Series and Busch left what is now Nationwide, NASCAR has slowly declined.
Not that I blame the corporations like Comcast, although I am sure they have some say in marketing.
The racing is just so ehhhh and the commercial success has made NASCAR less appealing. To me, it is boring now. Not that watching cars going around in circles was the height of excitement before.
