Not disagreeing with what you said, but these two polls would not be indicative of a sampling of NASCAR fans. Those that follow Martin or Gluck are much more invested in the sport.
A few years back I looked at this. One reason is take a team with four drivers and one in the playoffs, then there are 3 drivers that will likely not race hard to beat their teammate. So when you have Hendrick, Gibbs and Penske in the final that's about a third of the field that will back off...
Um, wasn't this a poll conducted by Mark Martin? So this poll reflects the opinions of fans that follow Mark Martin, not a statistical sampling of "NASCAR Fans."
Those that follow Mark Martin are probably more old school fans.
Disagree with that. How can you say there would be a four way fight at the top when the rules they would be racing by would be completely different.
This is my story and I am sticking to it. You can't compare two completely different formats that dictate how teams race. For all we know...
That was an absolute nightmare of a wreck. I can't imagine what Jessica is going through at this point. I have followed Friesen's career pre NASCAR and have always respected his racing style and perseverance in the truck series as an owner.
I sure hope he can make a full recovery, but given...
I thought the frontstretch interview with Bubba was especially cringe worthy and tacky when the second question was about his "detractors." Come on, the guy just drove on heck of a race and won at Indy, let's try to ruin the moment for him.
I just don't get these "comparisons". The drivers and teams are currently racing for the championship using the current rules. Their decisions are obviously different at times than they would be if it was a full season championship. Once locked in by a win they are willing to gamble on fuel...
Why anyone who watches these broadcasts falls for the ‘he doesn’t have enough fuel” bull… is beyond me. It’s like a WWE wrestler being pinned and bouncing up at the count of two.
Years ago I stayed at the Hotel Del Coronado, it was really nice and really expensive. Only reason I could stay there was because I was attending a conference for work and the room was paid for. No way I could afford to stay on the island on my own dime. I am happy that you can enjoy it!
