NASCAR in it's not so infinite wisdom has pulled the final Nextel Cup date from Rockingham Speedway. [:'(]

 

Yeah, there were "rumors" that might happen, I believe they are adding another race at Texas MS, but it ain't the same as the 'Rock"....

 

It's ironic how they have been running the comercials with all the old drivers with the current drivers and boasting about tradition and history. I suppose Rockingham doesn't have enough history to keep a Cup race.

I'm really losing all respect for NASCAR with their spec-car rules, driver favoritism, and make it up as you go rules. Oh well.

 

I'm going to miss the Rock... I don't even see why we can't add more races, instead of removing them.

But I'd watch NASCAR if they were simply circling a Piggly Wiggly store... I don't care. LOL!

I'll miss it too. That track always had good racing on it.

I think if they want to get rid of any of them they need to lose the road course track. To me that's just not a NASCAR track.

 

YAH!! I *HATE* road courses... they make no sense... LOL! I especially hate when they have special drivers fill in for people who can only turn left. Hahahaha!

So, does that mean one less race or is Nascar doubling up at another track ???

 

Texas MS gets an extra race, I think it's at about the same time as when the "special rules" kick in towards the end of the season. I don't think it takes effect till 2005....

 

Ok, Texas gets another race in November, as does Arizona in the spring. Darlington and North Carolina Motor Speedway each lose a race and the "Rock" is SOL. This is effective for the 2005 schedule. Curses!!!![:@]

 

I'm with you on that. They have always changed the rules every other day. When one make starts really winning(except Chevy) they change or modify the rules just for them, so everyone else(Chevy) regains their advantage.[sm=smiley21.gif][sm=smiley35.gif][sm=smiley7.gif]
