Enough Is Enough Full Season Championship.

[Revman]

Writer Brock Beard's piece.

He has a problem with the way the sport is produced on TV, the championship format, the way races are officiated....and he thinks that a full season championship will fix all of that? ....and he speaks for many who should be speaking for themselves......I see each race for what it is....that is why I have watched Denny's Vegas win a million times....it didn't result in championship, so why would I using Beard's logic. Maybe fans need to think for themselves.

I know a lot of people say the Brickyard is, but really the only reason is because its at Indy. The racing and attendance isn't great. It was such a failure that they left the oval for several years.....

It's Indianapolis.

The Brickyard 400 is a crown jewel for the Indianapolis 500 and the IRL.

I think Nascar in general is better than the IRL at ovals, but the Brickyard is still a 2nd tier compared to the 500. The 500 is so much better.

The financial incentives must be great for Nascar to be comfortable with doing a 2nd rate show.
It is a short-sighted credibility liabilty for Nascar imo. Cash in on the glitter today but pay for the lack of substance over the long haul.

A liabilty packaged as a jewel.

That race was a sellout every single year until Tireghazi. And even then, they get more fans than most races. NASCAR, in general, has fallen off that hard in the past 15 years.

It's a crown jewel because of what it means to the racers to win.

They need to take the O'Reilly Series back to Raceway Park though.

I agree about about the return to IRP, while agreeing to disagree on the brickyard.
