    I've come to the conclusion that this "new breed" of NASCAR fan loves the wrecks, loves the media crap about he said she said that he said, pays more attention to what the driver wears during an off track interview then how well his crew preps the car, and generally favor the driver who creates the most "drama" that the media experts can hype up!!!!!

    I still appreciate the planning, the strategy, the pit crew efficiency, driver's ability to analyze handling and tell the crew chief what the car's doing, Crew Chief's ability to take that information and improve the car's handling, and a driver's ability to save the car, go fast when it counts, and cruise when it don't!!!!!

    I think the majority of the "New NASCAR Fan" have already left and moved on to something else. Even the boards that used to be swamped with posts are dead! Those of us that are left, we probably have been watching for years..

    Goodyears are no secret, track is cold and fast, and they are running the air pressures lower to get ahold of the track. Add in a bunch of camber and there you go! Ripping the tread right off of it!

    Looks like J.J. has the field covered "AGAIN"!!! Yawn..
