having 43-50 extra cars running around the track along with the track and nascar vehicals track drying would be in creased. the cars could be street leagle and driven to the track(more sponsoe exposer) or hauled with the local show cars.or specailly biuld with exhaust pointing down toward the track for more drying effect.

some terams could even have 2-3 cars with different paint schemes from different sponsors, or even retro paint and or cars. I'd love to see a black 1988 monte carlo aero cuope with a big ole #3 on the side circling the track, even if it was only at 60mph in the rain. ]]> tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.349772 2008-10-27T09:29:20Z boatvolt
The way is now is about as exciting as sitting next to the Interstate watching traffic for three hours [although at least the cars on the Interstate are different.]

Some years ago, there was a cash bonus for the leader at the half-way point, which at least added a reason to lead.

What if Nascar added a points bonus at various laps or miles [100 laps or miles, 200 laps or miles...etc.] four or five times during the race? The field starts with 43 cars, so the leader at that lap [mile] would get 43 points, and the last placed car would get 1 point [or as many cars as were still running] and the entire field would have an incentive to race.

The overall points numbers would have to change to reflect finishing positions, but hey, it's only numbers.

With so much weekend TV competition [NFL, college football, etc.] advertisers are getting the short end of the stick if viewers like myself only watching the starts and finishes, and watching football, cutting the grass, or taking a nap during "cruise time".

Just a thought, but with NASCAR becoming more spec-racing and less interesting all the time, they need something to liven it up. ]]> tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.359161 2008-11-17T00:35:49Z 2008-11-17T00:37:32Z LoveAllRacing tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.359111 2008-11-16T22:32:47Z jimmykkia tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.356201 2008-11-09T22:11:20Z mustang6172
My screen name should tell you what brand I'm loyal to, but I enjoy any kind of racing I can watch. I already tolerate 24 Hondas at Indy plus whoever builds those top fuel and funny car engines. ]]> tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.323473 2008-09-14T22:21:27Z falcon65 tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.349451 2008-10-26T17:08:39Z gatorjaws tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.350161 2008-10-28T02:44:11Z 2008-10-28T07:40:50Z Rockn-Roll
