It is so easy for NASCAR to manipulate restricter plate races and they do. It is not as bad as wrestling but when you have one family that controls everything and you keep on having feel good story happening it becomes apparent to alot of people about what is going on.

I wonder if there was a reason Jeff Gordon won the first race at the Brickyard 400. Maybe because he grow up there and it would bring in more fans and hurt the IRL. Hmmmm

One thing that NASCAR has wanted for years is for Mark Martin to win the Daytona 500. So I guess it is just luck that a part time driver has set on the front row this year and was the quickest car last year. We all know that when you turn 50 you become quicker.
