| “Whether you like him or not, Stewart
pointed out something that fans have been questioning for a long time, myself
included, especially when they don’t show the debris that brought out the
caution. I know NASCAR wants close races and thrilling finishes, but are
they manipulating the race with debris cautions?” |

| “It is excessive
to claim NASCAR fixes or attempts to pre-determine race outcomes. What is
a legitimate complaint stems from NASCAR’s
blatant attempts to inject artificial excitement into an event by not allowing
said event to happen as it happens.” |

| “I spend a minimum of 20 hours each
week talking with race fans around the country, and it’s a concern of theirs,
as well. Maybe it’s time we had this debate, allowing NASCAR to make its
case, while receiving feedback from a considerable number of disgruntled
fans and competitors.” |

| “Just stop trying to deceive us! If
you throw a caution because you want the field bunched up, say so! We’re
not fooled. If all you’re after is better television ratings, then by all
means, keep throwing these ‘debris cautions’. Why don’t you use pyrotechnics
and scripted play like the WWE does and just throw all competition out the
window.” |

| “In the last few years and particularly
during the Nextel Cup period, I have become increasingly disenchanted with
the direction NASCAR has taken. It seems that NASCAR has decided to become
Entertainment programming rather then a Sporting contest.” |
