A Blind Eagle
I was watching the old cowboy looking dude that has the early morning show on t.v. He made a statement about Nascar that went something like this.....He didn't understand why some of the drivers raced....they never won, and always finished thirty something....Now I had had that thought before myself...why not just cut it down to like about twelve cars 
, the sport wouldn't be so dangerous, and look at the fuel they would save....just a question, but I would like to see someone new win the race or at least be in contention. Dang, you would think someone named Petty could get up there once in a while....Now I know it has to do with money....the best cars, etc., but even a blind eagle finds an acorn now and then.....Just wondering!

Well, if they ever get team ownership under control and limited the way they claim they're going to, they might get some of the money spread around a little more. Two teams is enough for anyone. That's still one more than most can manage.

It is all about the $$$$$.
Right now, Kenny Wallace is in 48th place for the cup, only racing for one race. He started 36th, finished 41st, and his earnings for that one race is $97,533. I don't know about you, but I don't make that much in a year, let alone one weekend!

How many other sports have 43 teams competing in the same contest?
Imagine what baseball or basketball would be like if only one team per week could win?
Even the worst teams in those sports win at least some times.
How many Nascar drivers go for years, or even an entire career without a win?
