Race day !

The super bowl of racing kicks off this afternoon what should be an interesting season. With the season not even started and a handful of teams in a point’s deficit due to illegalities in their cars, NASCAR has set the standard for the way rules violations will be handled.

In years passed, some would argue that bending the rules was just part of the race as was the banging and bumping, and it was. The king, Richard Petty was arguably one of the best in the business at both driving and cheating. Those days gone, money, safety and the legitimizing of what some would call a “redneck thing” is in play. NASCAR is the fastest growing spectator sport in the country and with merchandising in the multi-millions, NASCAR is out to show the world that it is a legitimate sanctioning body and rules are made to be followed.
