[QUOTE="upsdude, post: 322303, member: 2033"] So, tell me why teams are having trouble finding sponsorship. "It's the economy stupid" to quote an old political slogan. Another reason, "has been" car owners that let the sport pass them by. Car owners that put millions in their pockets and little into the teams for R&D or equipment. Joe Blow Inc isn't going to hand over 20 mil to run 35th, well UPS will. Some of the fans kill me though. They're ready to bash Nascar at every turn yet stay chest deep in the sport. They must watch every race to see what the stands look like and count the TV ads. Fans will pay for a subscription to a racing "news" site (dominated by Nascar news) when all sorts of free info is out there. Look, I'm not trying to get into a p-ing contest with you or anyone else over Nascar's health. I'm just tired of hearing folks complain everyday about how they're sick of Nascar until the next race. Then they will plant their butt in front of the TV or drive to a track, come Monday they'll *itch about Nascar all week. If they're that sick of it then turn off the TV or change the channel. Even if your number source shows the ratings "down", look how many folks are still watching. BTW, I say Favre could have went another year or two, or three. Also think he would have made a heck of a racecar driver. [/QUOTE]
