Oct 6, 2008 at 8:45 PMkahnefan you missed the point, give back throttle response restrict speed with gear ratio. the pack will no longer be one clump of follow the leader,the cars will be more spread out so the big one won't take out a third or more of the fieldevery time. give the race back to the drivers. we should not have to watch the best drivers hang out at the back instead of racing just to miss the BIG ONE. apparently you don't race. i do and thats not RACING!!!!!!!!!!

Oct 6, 2008 at 9:23 PMESPN and ABC suck for NASCAR reporting, FOX is the only one that broadcast the race with people who understand it, the rest are trained monkeys running around in their cutie suits trying to act like they know whats happening. No wonder Smoke has such a dislike for ESPN. DANNY

Oct 7, 2008 at 1:03 AMESPN in the 90's was the best covering NASCAR, but now they try to make it too dramatic, commercial and dumb it down. you can thank allen bestwick for that. im so glad he isnt the lead analyst anymore.

Oct 7, 2008 at 10:09 AMIm actually suprised people are still tuning in. This latest result has shown (again) what a joke Nascar has become. Congrats to France Jr for turning this one awesome sport to a laughable spectator event-like wrestling. Once Gordon retires I won't ever have to visit a Nascar site again.
