I want the nail-biting drama
I know Jimmie Johnson fans are giddy with the anticipation of four back-to-back championships. Yawn!
Don’t get me wrong. I think Chad Knaus, Johnson’s Hendrick Motorsports crew chief, is absolutely brilliant and deserving of all the success he has earned, but again, yawn.
Last week’s setback for the team at Texas Motor Speedway, although painful for them, was absolutely thrilling for me. I want the championship to be determined by some sort of nail-biting drama in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway instead of a foregone conclusion. Competition, people, competition.
As a fan, I’m realistic that JJ will more than likely do it again. But with the door slightly cracked, I’d love nothing more than for Mark Martin to walk through it. Give me a reason to want to watch the last few races, an out-and-out brawl for the title.

Nov 13, 2009 at 7:40 PMBig Yawn!!!!!! Where is the old point system. I miss it badly. If Jimmie clinches Sunday why watch next week. Tony is the real leader as he was in the 1st 26 races and would be ahead now on the old system and everyone trying to catch him.

Nov 16, 2009 at 4:55 PMBig yawn. What's the point of watching anymore? The ratings are down, the seats are empty - even at the most popular tracks. NASCAR doesn't get it. Competition should be there. It's what makes a sport fun. I say ditch all the tracks and put all the drivers on dirt tracks. Then maybe we'll see some real action and competition.
