NASCAR TEAMS FORM NEW BUSINESS ASSOCIATION – RACE TEAM ALLIANCE

It is about time that they finally see that NA$CAR, the monolopy that it is, has such a stranglehold on this series that the team are nothing more than puppets fighting for crumbs every week.
The owners are at the mercy of “the suits” whenever the “suits” want to make a change on the cars, which seems to happen almost every year. Other years they make changes mid-year, and all these changes cost millions for the owners. They tell owners who they can and can’t have as sponsors, such as “Cingular” which was a Childress sponsors a few years back. Whom did that benefit? The “suits” of course, as Nextel had taken over.
NA$CAR has a charge for everything, registration, car-inspections, etc. They have put dozens of teams out of business due to their rules.

Bruton Smith owns 8 tracks, I think, and there are lots of others, that could entertain a cup race. It is also time to leave those horrible plate tracks that do nothing but send cars to the scrap heap. Get rid of about 1/2 of the 1 1/2 mile tracks and get more short tracks, like Iowa, and another road course like Road America.

It would take a very smart CEO to draw up another series and make it work. Sponsors would go along with it. The MAVTV channel would be a perfect fit for this new series, since they are motorsports oriented.

I sincerely hope that, behind the scenes, this alliance has more in mind than just enlarging their money-making efforts.
