Simple economics.

When you have a format that has proven to be good for enough years and you like the results - you fuck it up and put in some new shitty format.

With numbnuts Brian France in control, that should be no problem.

Now I'm not a genius by any stretch when it comes to all things related to NASCAR but why would you take a format that your fans haven't liked from the start and bring it to another series and think it'll yield better results and interest? Now I don't know how to drum up more interest for the truck series off the top of my head but this definitely isn't the way.

The Truck series has lost its appeal since khi folded.

Never doubt the ability of Brian France and the NASCAR higher ups to screw things up even moreso than they already are.

It's quite amazing.

You know I had actually heard to talk about that retarded clock shit about a month ago and almost posted it but I stopped because I didn't think they would actually be stupid enough to do it. Clearly I was wrong. The lesson: Never underestimate the stupidity of Brian France's NASCAR

The only cool thing that came out of this chase shit was the dash for cash Xfinity races. They will qualify, then have 2 heat races, then the main race.

The truck series has always been more of a gimmick to me anyways.

I've been a defender of NASCAR rulings for a while and I'm a stock car racing junkie, but they'll strain my fanhood if this shit ever comes to the Cup Series with the 20 minute clock deal.

Actually the clock was suggested by Bruton Smith some years ago, but it was seen as too much of a gimmick then. I guess hanging around with Bruton has rubbed off on BF.

I read the caution clock thing and all I thought back to was a few years ago in the Sprint cup at a track (Indy?) where the tires were crap and they were throwing out mando cautions all the time. Who saw that and said "this is what we need more of!"
