NASCAR "Silly Season" leading up to the 2020 season

[ocdart]

OK, here's a spot to post whatever you see/hear about the NASCAR "Silly Season" before the 2020 season.
Let me start it off with Jimmie ("Seven Time") Johnson and his announcement today that the 2020 season will be his last as a full-time driver.

The France Family accepted all that $$ from Toyota, to buy into the Series. The payoff was the 3 Gibbs cars in the Final. How could they loose. It's just as Dirty as the Impeachment Hearings. The Real Drivers are probably sick of it too...

Wow it sure took a few years for that money from Toyota to have any effect. How long have they been in na$car?

NASCAR has worked hard to make all the cars equal. So what's the point of having a race?

 

[Slap Stick]

Some cars are more equal than others.

I record the races then fast forward to twenty laps to go after it ends. I guess NASCAR was thinking the play-off idea would improve things. They've removed more than ten thousand seats from places like Daytona and Charlotte but still can't fill the seats that are left. As opposed to forty cars running in circles for three hours I think they should try something similar to the Sprint Car approach. That is; have four twenty lap heat races with ten cars each that qualify the three highest finishers to run in the fifty lap "A" main. Maybe have a "B" main that allows lower finishers a chance to qualify. Let's face it, watching forty cars, thirty of which have no chance to win, go around in circles for three hours is downright boring. And declining viewership proves it.

Multiple car mega buck teams helped put a stake in the heart of nascar!!

The rules allow multi car teams. Don't blame the players.
