This X10. I used to be a NASCAR fanatic...then around the same time Dale died, I started losing interest, then again, I felt him and Gordon were Mark Martin's arch enemies.

Barret Jackson was cool for about three years, until it gave car collectors, people who build cars that contain 50% of bondo as body panels, and people with rust buckets behind their houses for the past 20 years a sense that they are sitting on a golden ticket. They make it look as though its the worlds biggest/ fanciest auction, but only because it's seen on TV. Realistically some of those cars are nicely restored, others....meh, the camera can do some neat tricks. Check out some R&M auctions sometimes, it's not uncommon for 7 figure cars over and over again on the block, and boy are those cars hawt hawt hawt.
They need to lessen the NASCAR trend, if they havent noticed by now, the NASCAR scene is dying ( it's own success was it's demise) They need to go back to their grass roots. Show WRC, Dakar ( man I used to stay up late just to watch all that coverage) more endurance racing, hell even boat racing. the SCCA run offs is one of the better shows, Amature racers going at it in so many different type of races. Also bring back Dream car more, I actually like Chop-cut-rebuild, and they should also look into gettign junk yard wars and monster garage re runs lol.
