Been doing some time with trying to put on the “big 3” shoes and pretend towards understanding – were I one/all (of the big 3), what might be the reason behind what are essentially presented by the author (Medidiot?) as the/my “going in” positions and value points?

The seemingly “easy” to understand first:

Trucks for now must be totally discarded (from the financial support standpoint)

The problems in the industry/marketplace are so severe that any investment presently must be where the actual or imagined or forecasted return is. Trucks are not it and future thinking in the industry is akin to – “will I eat tomorrow”, not the day after, week after, etc., “tomorrow”.

Buyers are speaking – trucks are dead. Unfortunately, the complete collapse of the SUV “interest” is, due to connective perceptions of the buying public, further/additionally impacting “trucks”. If/should those involved in truck racing (NASCAR, owners, etc.) be in a position where manufacturer financial support is absolutely essential in order to go on – it is over.

The high end of the multi team owners will support a good number of the alleged positions, and perhaps the “big 3” are in their pocket and mouthing their desires

“Specialty” vehicles abound in the alleged positions of the “big 3”. Road course, wherever the “ponys” and/or the “look like showroom” might be run.

Not quite sure how anyone who would from one side of the mouth indicate support of the smaller owners, speak in support of some of the cost increasing elements of the alleged positions. A number of the positions increase NASCARS influenced on "what is raced". This has got to be some form of blind mans bluff.

The author might be taking fan opinions that are raised with notable vigor and frequency and claiming these same positions are shared and will be argued by the “big 3”

SOOOOOooooo many claims around knowledge of these positions by the author (Medidiot?) yet soooooo little previous known or reported statements, press releases, etc. of similarly strong and very specific “positions” by the manufactures and/or NASCAR previously.

No specific person in any of the big 3, NASCAR, Toyota, and on, and on, is ever identified or directly quoted by the author (Medidiot?). Anywhere, ever.

Increasingly inclined toward “Medidiot”.

Elevate the technology

Likely could result in lesser expenses since in particular the engines used today are not using the more standard components configurations of the stock world (fuel injections, OHC, etc.). As a manufacturer, why would I want to provide $$$ to create and perfect power plants that the buying public can never purchase on Monday? Test things for me that make my standard product better.




Not sure we’ve got the clear “why I care” on at least these:

Cut the schedule

Can’t quite get here without making the assumption (danger) that my $$$ are without any conceivable/possible doubt totally essential to NASCAR’s survival. A dangerous assumption – “I hold all the critical cards” – as a going in position in any event.

Love the authors – “one manufacturer in particular”. Strongly believing we’ve a Medidiot fishing for blind followers. This type of “fact” is laced repeatedly through the article (fairy tale?).


Make the Nationwide Series a true driver development series

Why do I care about this at all? With the clearly empty stands, the clear need for raiders to ensure the series continuance at all, maybe I even consider dumping this even before the trucks. Nobody ever bought on Monday – and boy do I ever need that more than ever now – from anything that ever happened in this series.

Since there are some who might say – the trucks will come back soons we get the efficiency/economy up, and they (trucks) have sure paved my way over the past more recent years ----- maybe we will do some decreased support as a hedge and dump the Nationwide.

In the end – we tend towards – the author is high likely a Medidiot.
