aha. OK. that explains why i don't know about it.
i do not pay attention to nascar anymore.
it is nothing more than a bunch of crybabies out for a Sunday drive anymore.
and i think it is staged anymore.

First of all, drivers haven't been complaining much about one make having an advantage over another for a few years now. Sure, the Dodge boys had a bit of a beef over the nose of last year's so-called Charger (I don't blame them too much, that thing was flat and vertical, and picked up every bit of trash on the track...) but for the most part NASCAR had already made the cars pretty much the same body-wise.
The COT is definitely a step forward in terms of safety, but time well tell when it comes to what it does for, or to, the racing. I'm not fond of the look, and I hate the wing. Personally, I'd rather see them use the new chassis and wrap them with sheetmetal from the days of REAL racing...the sixties and seventies! Naw....it'd never sell...lol
As for NASCAR being staged... I aint' buyin' it. Yes, it's definitely a show. That's why it's gained it's popularity. But when those drivers get on the track, they're racing. These guys want to race or they wouldn't be where they are.

OK....My bad! I thought there only 10 COT's, I got it from pre-race on speed channel.

BTW...If you're so anti-NASCAR why did you even bother reading and posting on this thread?

It has been proven that nascar will try to make the finish a good one if it looks like it is going to be a yawner. They do this by throwing a "debris" caution,which bunches up the field for the last few laps of the race. do I agrree with this? no,I think if a driver was good enough to get a 3 second lead on the rest of the pack,he deserves to win the race,no matter how boring the finish would be. I also don't believe they "fix" the race so the driver they want to win will win,that is almost impossible.
