NASCAR...Is the C.O.T killing it??

The car of tomorrow or car of today that NASCAR has switched to is killing the sport in my humble redneck opinion. Be honest with me now how many of you fans were able to stay awake while watching the race at Michigan this weeke..n..d..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Sorry dozed off just thinking about it. How can they expect you to stay awake when you have a 14 second gap between 1st and 10th and another 12 seconds back to 20th?? The big excitement of the race is whether the front 3 cars (separated by about 8 seconds) will run out of gas. Oh my gosh I was on the edge of my seat. Come on!! I don't give a sh.. if they have enough gas I want them beating and banging and hoping they have enough of a car left to finish. I know Michigan is always a boring race just like California (both Penske tracks I believe) and that's why they can't fill the seats but the zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz is spilling over even to the short tracks this year. Did anyone watch Bristol this year? Now Bristol is usually where you see a picture of the winning car and wonder if the driver made it out alive as there isn't a straight piece of metal on it. This year?? Could have passed for a new car pulling off the showroom floor. No fist fights in the pits or on the track. Damn shameful that the drivers were not jumping and screaming like 2 Year olds. Taking bets on who would be the first driver who walked out on the track to throw his helmet at another driver made for a nice side pot on race day. Now the pot goes to whomever stays awake the longest. More and more seats are staying empty so I am not the only one who shares this opinion. I want to go back to the days when the drivers were like boxers and their cars were their gloves. Rights and lefts were thrown all day long and the better man usually won. I don't want to see the guy who drove around staying out of the way to save gas get the checkered (no offense to Mark Martin). As always let me know what you think and hit a sponsor on the way out as a guys gotta eat. Video bar updates all day!!
