I just think the racing is enough to promote a race.Don't think anything else is needed and these situations like this should be down played.There is way too much in other kinds of sports like NHL and alike.What next??Golfers throwing down on the fairway??.:whacked::LOL:
Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick: Darlington Raceway Set For Round Two
Nascar is becoming a childish spot, one of the many reasons my interest favor Drag Racing.
No wait.Force beating up his crew chief for losing a race coming soon......................:eek::rolleyes::LOL::LOL:
Yeah, drag racing... I guess they never hyped Shirley Muldowney vs Garlits... Or the Mongoose vs the Snake.. promoters have played the game for decades. It's all good fun imho...
Well, one thing about Force he has been on fire just about every way a racer could have been. He is the poster boy for hair on fire.... LOL
Promoters & hype are one thing, throwing helmets and intentionally wrecking your competitors hotrod is another, that's childish.
Anyone growing up in the midwest should recall the commercials that blasted the airwaves heading into the weekends, and those big stations like WLS in Chicago bounced signal a looooong ways on a clear, dark night - http://www.lostindiana.net/Lost_Indi...es/wlsus30.wavQuote:

I do.That is my roots.Hurst Hairy Olds,Hemi under glass,Madman from Mich,Freight Train, Little Red Wagon.all of them use to race there.The history of Lancaster Speedway has many,many,National and ET Champs.Still tight racing today and if you can consistently win there,you can win anywhere.
