I believe if we had cars racing side-by-side every lap no one would miss the wrecks. Most fans would rather see close racing than fiery wrecks.Gene Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677117602150714769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-61254255060466787782011-12-01T08:29:42.814-08:002011-12-01T08:29:42.814-08:00I'd repose the question, no wrecks by drivers ...I'd repose the question, no wrecks by drivers but if cars fall apart then it happens --THAT I could live with because a world where nascar throws discretionary cautions would be wrestling...oh wait a minute...we are *almost* there.<br /><br />I don't know any fans that come to the race bloodthirsty for wrecks.

Never happen...
But if it did I do be...No wrecks? Never happen... <br /><br />But if it did I do believe I'd lose interest but not out of bloodlust going unfulfilled. Wrecking is such an intrinsic part of the sport since it acts to reshuffle who is in the lead and who has a chance to win. Without it I would be hard pressed to call it racing... It would be more of what I'm dead set against: Whichever team that happened to hit the right setup for the track/conditions would move to the front while everyone else line danced at a distance. It would become the rabbit and the hounds and the rabbit would win every time... Then NASCAR, in all their wisdom, and just as you point out, would end up throwing in those phantom debris cautions that lead to speculation about who was leading the race at the time and who stood to gain by such an action (yeah, I know, Junior).<br /><br />No... If that's what NASCAR came to I'd have better things to do. <br /><br />Good one Gene!Dwindy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02915617340823975656noreply@blogger.com
