All responses were interesting and it was especially noteworty there was not ONE good reason to use the dollar sign ($) in the word NASCAR.
Greed is a misnomer, inappropriately applied. NASCAR is not greedy. It is a corporation making a profit. NASCAR is spending big money on safety and research. There should be no question they are working on resolving the emergency response time and this would include the half-azzed
"gentleman's agreement" of not racing back to the caution.
Keep an eye on this one as it is pretty positive NASCAR will make a change of some sort in the near future.
Safety improvments are the sole responsibilty of the facility not NASCAR. NASCAR mandates that required measures be taken and the operators have the option of complying or not. Non-compliance means the event could be cancelled.
By comparison, it is no more greedy than DEI for fighting the town of Kannapolis over the way the Dale Earnhardt Memorial Park in Kannapolis, NC is promoted. Thier reason is simple. They are trying to keep the value of Dale Earnhardt collectibles as high as possible. If NASCAR is greedy, so is DE Motor$port$ and Action Figure$.
Consider how much profit the auto manufacturers must have built into the purchase price of a new vehicle if they can offer six year, interest free loans and rebates.
Do you place a $ in thier signature?? Like writing Chevrolet$, Chry$ler$ and Ford$.
Ticket prices do not come under the umbrella of NASCAR. The guilty party of rising ticket prices is the track where the event is held. If free admission is not available, again, it is the track ownership. If a track is owned by ISC, that is not NASCAR.
ISC, is a separate corporation, stock holder controlled. Although the France Family has a controlling interest, it has is not controlled by NASCAR.
All the complaints posted here could be debated, but not one was valid.
Just my thoughts and the only one with sound logic was posted by Mr (or Ms.) Hardscrabble. It is the "chic" thing to do.
Just a teaser for the fans.
