Get a Mustang, Challenger, or whatever off of the lot and build it up from there. Speeds wouldn't be as great, but I feel it'd be more entertaining. Plus, that would knock Toyota out of racing.

I agree with you here

Its no longer stock car racing. Teams are so large and some teams even use other teams engines.
Watching teams build from a stock car would be fun and would probably produce better racing. Also, an easier way to go back to better racing is to go back to some short tracks. As of now, there are only two short tracks on the schedule if you dont include Richmond. When NASCAR was first introduced, Darlington was the "Superspeedway of Superspeedways" at 1.36 miles. Thats an average track now.
I would love to go see a cup race at Rockingham and a revamped North Wilkesboro.

While I will agree with you, racing at the Rock was boring.***

I watched the truck race there last spring

And it was entertaining. I just really like the history behind NASCAR, thats why I threw The Rock in there. Bring back Nashville, N. Wilkesboro, Greenville-Pickens, those kinda tracks.

Nashville track makes Bristol look big

tiny little thing. Talking about the one at the Fairgrounds. The new track they built about 15 years ago is big though. But one of those cookie-cutter 1.5s I believe.

It would be the birth of a new age of muscle cars...

Imagine what automakers would come out with if they actually had to build something to compete in Nascar...Limitless possibilities.

automakers were putting out for those cars. It would be awesome.

My hope would be that they'd start offering base model

cars with the big motors in them, since everything else would be changed out anyway. I'd love to get my hands on a $25k Challenger with the 6.7 Hemi.

Nothing worse than going out with a girl and finding out that she was wearing restrictor pants!

my pet peeve is they won't race when its raining

hey NASCAR - MY car runs just fine in the rain. My boss doesn't allow me to skip work because it's raining - he would fire me if I told him that I couldn't drive my car into work because the road was wet. Yes, I have to slow down somewhat because of the water, but bottom line - MY CAR STILL WORKS. News flash - SO does yours. If you drive too fast, you wreck. Just like real life.
So throw on some Goodyear Weatherbeaters, some Rain-X on the windshield, and make some freaking laps.
