If it's so popular, how come it's playing to less than half full crowds? How come ratings are down? How come established drivers can't find sponsorship?

Big Bill is rolling in his grave. The current folks in charge don't give a rat's ass about the actual racing. If they are truly to "fix" NASCAR, they have to fix the racing.

Apparently you have not noticed the empty seats at NFL, MLB and NBA games! Of course that is likely NASCAR's fault too! How about all of the empty seats at dirt races over the past two years? Yeah, I get it, that is NASCAR's fault too!

Same old bacon bits......just no logic or common sense whatsoever!

NFL and MLB attendance percentages (since you mentioned "empty seats") are up over last year. NBA is tough to judge, as the current season won't begin for a couple of weeks, and last season was truncated due to the lockout. The NBA lockout may or may not be a contributing factor for attendance, but it makes for an unfair comparison because the NFL, MLB, and NASCAR completed full schedules last year. However, since you brought it up, NBA attendance percentages increased from 2010-11 to 2011-12.

Is NASCAR on the way back up?

Same old riptide...defending NASCAR no matter what!

I searched for three evenings and found ricky in fights with a Robert yates crew chief over motors .. and fight with Kevin harvick at Richmond and wrecking jef gordon and getting parked for 2 weeks .. but i couldnt find a fight with Harry gant crew ..
And the stuff on Obomber ( Obomber is a nickname because he launched his campaign from a bomber of a police stations house ) is Scarcasm ..
your right .. nobody believes a movie is why our Embassador to libia is dead .. Its just another Obomber lie .. for 2 weeks .....And a Un Speech ... and the economy .. Is ALL obama ..

Ricky sure didnt mind gettin in a fight for sure .. and i wouldnt doubt that fight happened .
