Comments on: C’mon, NASCAR, Let’s Play Fair. http://motorsportsnews.net/archives/769 Home of the FREE Stock Car Gazette E-zine Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:01:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Steven http://motorsportsnews.net/archives/769/comment-page-1#comment-193044 Steven Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:21:39 +0000 http://motorsportsnews.net/archives/769#comment-193044 Its a fact, there is cheating in Nascar, unfortunatly they, Nascar, hold all the cards and owe nobody any explaination for any call they make or fine they impose. Fans shouldnt be so nieve as to think that Nascar doesnt have favorites, thier track record is evidence enough to prove they HAVE favorites and they rule the roost! What would any of you think if I told you that all those victores that Richard Petty claims were not really victories at all, but fixed races to please the crowd. Of course this was back in the day when drivers and crew slept in the pits under trucks and cars, no fancy haulers or money for motels. And drivers wives were the score keepers and many point cards were questionable. All this info is in a book by Johnny Wynn Lawrence, a decesed driver from the 60s. Cheating is a business practice conducted by Nascar, its went on since the conception of the sport and good people get hurt because of it. As fans we either accept it or just dont have nothing to do with it at all. And that line,"put on a good show for the fans" show is all it is, Nascar is a bigger circus act than WWE ever thought it could be, at least WWe throws its punches with some reality!

Whatever NASCAR sez goes, right Sam ?? No need to "follow any stoopid rules. We'll just make 'em up as we go"... Sam is probably please with the results from the Kansas race too.

Yes, every sport has people trying to cheat. The difference is Nascar hands out penalties based on who they want to win, the other sports hand out penalties to stop the cheating... That's why you don't see the fans of other sports leaving. College football has the "death penalty" rule, Nascar has the "Well, um, this guy makes us a lot of money and he's on probation, so we need to look the other way, or we'll lose that money" rule.

Nascar tries to fix every race so certain racers win. They would love to see Gordon win another title. The hendricks influence the France family bank book. I have turned my racing TV to short track or any sport. Lawrence Nascar has been in a downward spiral for a long time. Nascar tries to fix every race so certain racers win.

As the late, great Dale Earnhardt Sr. once observed this ain't racin, it's a show. WWE has it's Vince McMahon and NASCAR has Mike Helton. Either one of them could have studied at the knee of P.T. Barnum NASCAR is not a sport, nor is it a fair competition. As the late, great Dale Earnhardt Sr. once observed this ain’t racin, it’s a show. WWE has it’s Vince McMahon and NASCAR has Mike Helton.

Carl didn't win because of the lowness, he won despite it. Doesn't matter, wrong is wrong in the end, I think the penalty was fair and in line with similar penalties this year, considering the infraction. I'd rather watch Tony knock the crap out of someone or Kyle smack some snottynosed overprivledged, under-talented hack than listen to some politically correct "it was just one of those racing deals."
