I agree 100% with the first comment. Secondly, I think Martina Truex' s crew chief should be penalized for that hick, hay seed name of his, never mind the tweet. What, were his parents watching Days of Thunder when they bestowed that name on him?

Nascar has forgotten those that put them on the map to start with. The ones that pulled racing up by the boot straps and honestly I can't say made it what it is today. The blue collar workers that could, at one time, afford to take his family to a race and enjoy the day. Now the same people couldn't afford to buy a program and drink at the same tracks. Nascar left the fans, not the fans leaving Nascar. Just look at the stands and see the results. I remember when I first started going to Daytona in the late 70's, you could go through the week and pay 20-25 bucks for a race and the first one there got the first seats. I was at the first "Shoot Out" and I certainly didn't pay what I would have to pay now to see that race. They have made the food and other vendors so expensive it is pitiful. $50 to a $100 bucks for a piece of Chinese junk to advertise for who? Nascar. They allowed a couple, especially one, people come in take over the sport and if you notice his cars either win or close to the top. Let these big hero's to day go back and run the same cars on the same tires against, the real drivers that made the sport. Petty, Tiny Lund, the Allison family, Fireball Roberts, Earnhart in the early days Buddy Baker, Junior Johnson,,......etc. There would be a very small percentage of these cowboys today that could drive around the track with them much less race with them. I would like to see how they would do on the very first track they ran on at Daytona, now that would be a joke. You can't make cars even with rules. What you do is cause one of the best drivers ever to lose his life. Earnhart always said the restrictor plate racing would kill somebody, and it did. The last Daytona race I went to I fell asleep four times, and each time I opened my eyes to the same ole thing. Most boring waste of money I have ever seen. Am I wrong? Look around and see. Until Nascar goes back to real racing and quits allowing one person rule the roost, I will not step my foot in another Nascar track. I go to dirt now. It is fast, it is interesting and they race not drive follow the leader for four hours. Same on the Nascar Officials that took away Americas Sport and turned it into a smiple money game. I think you are on the way to extinction, and I don't think that is very far off. I read something on the internet that there is a possibility that one of the car manufacturing companies was interested in buying Nascar. No hard guess there. Anybody with eyes and a brain can see who that would be, and that would be the last shoe to drop. Drop anchor, that would be the end. Unless someone with sense that has actually been in a race car at 200+ mph is in charge, someone that understands what racing really is, quit being so money hungry and think about what made the sport great, stop this decline of people in the seats, Nascar is doomed anyway. Now I may be mistaken, but don't the race cars still run a 9" Ford rear end? Just thinking and wondering, Good Luck, if you really want to see some real racing come out to Volusia County Speedway during speed weeks, now there is some real racing.

He is a Crew Chief (leader and example) He should not be making stupid remarks like that... Its ok to say you are not happy but saying nasty remarks is uncalled for... What a poor example...
