NASCAR doesn't care about tradition?

As we come into the final two races of the Nextel Cup season, it would only make sense we'd be headed to some of the series' historical venues. Or instead, we can go to Phoenix and Miami. And that follows last week's stop outside of Dallas. Yes, all have plenty of race fans and surely local folks appreciate the chance to make a couple of short trips south every year to see the best drivers in the world compete, as many Oklahomans did last weekend. But it sure is a shame that NASCAR's traditional tracks — Charlotte, Daytona, Bristol, even those from days gone by like Darlington and North Wilkesboro — aren't in the mix for the races that ultimately decide a champion. Maybe it doesn't matter to most people, or even the drivers. But they don't play the Super Bowl in Milwaukee or take the Final Four to Montana. Both places have plenty of good fans for their sports, but they're not where you expect a champion to be crowned. -- Norman Transcript

"NA__AR" and "tradition, used in the same sentence? Talk about your classic oxymoron! Ask the town of North Wilsboro, NC how NA__AR feels about "tradition."

Re: NASCAR doesn't care about tradition?

Ya know, we've been talkin' about NA$CAR/profit/turning off fans etc. for as long as I've been here. I lose a little more intrest every week myself. But one thing I've noticed, for every fan they lose, they seem to gain one. Look at alot if posts on these boards that start out;"I'm new to racin' " And that's GREAT! I welcome any and all new fans to ANY motorsport. But WTF? I guess I have no point here. I'm just missin' the good ol' days.
