by

Though I continue to keep an open mind concerning NASCAR’s decision to develop and introduce the Car of Tomorrow (CoT) into weekly competition, the schedule for 2007 seems certain to create an inconsistent and disjointed season for fans.

Best of Voices: NASCAR Will Never Beat The NFL

by

Ever since Brian France assumed the helm of NASCAR, it seems that his main goal has been focused not on the race amongst cars every Sunday, but rather on a popularity race against another professional Sunday sport; the NFL. In fact, Brian has concentrated on this issue so much that in its current state, the whole complexion of NASCAR is changing.

by

Monday, NASCAR Chairman Brian France announced the long-awaited changes to the point system as it pertains to points awarded drivers for winning a Nextel Cup race.
