Whatever happened to NASCAR?

That’s what our grandchildren will be asking us one day if NASCAR keeps going in the direction it is going now. They will wonder what we ever saw in the sport. They won’t understand what a die-hard fan was.

The Absolutely Worst Sprint Cup Rides Of 2008

Scary Times for NASCAR

The economic turn of events of the last three months has everyone wondering what is going to happen next. The simple fact that at least 630 jobs have been lost at NASCAR teams is a sobering figure and makes the future look bleak.
