		<description>the only thing that needs knowing about nascar is that there is always something *else* on the telly.

..seriously, if youtube existed before nascar became the marketing juggernaut that it is, it (nascar) wouldn&#039;t ever get past the level of the alcohol fueled smash-up at the county fair.

Think about it, on youtube you can watch regular fuckwits stand on the hood of their trucks while they smash into trees (amongst other glimpses into Darwins waiting room) and it is;
at least as entertaining, 
wastes only a fraction of the time, 
provides the same self esteem boost that is only attainable by watching (barely) living proof that yer waaay more intelligent than those sorry strugglers who sign up to and/or film themselves &#039;cheating death&#039;.

yep, Nascar is obsolete. Youtube has it beat hands down.</description>

		<description>In my business I&#039;m rather close to the Nascar world. I know a few secrets.

As far as sponsorships go, with NASCAR getting a cut of everything, tell me which scenario do you all think is better for gross sponsorship revenue?:

A)  No dominant teams or racers, but everyone either gets a taste of victory, or comes close every so often. IE, you never know who&#039;ll win.

B) The best teams and drivers win.

What if a major sponsor spends $80MM per year to field a team that never ever wins?  How long do you think they&#039;ll be around?

The NASCAR officials who inspect the technical aspects of the cars (and tell the teams what is allowed and what is not) have more than a little latitude to overlook (wink, wink) things every so often.

The cover story is that the cars are very equal, but cars have lots of variables that can be adjusted to make one more powerful than another on a certain week.</description>
