The last 6 months l have lerned the reason nascar /cascar has never realy grown is that the average grass roots racin fan has never got behind the series,now all they are yaping about is the sponsors want this the sponsors want that, what about most of the teams they still strugle to get sponsors how is it going to grow with such a small fan base.The series has always been to busy trying to stroke there own sponsors insted of trying to create fans,the fact is there are only so many race fans in Canada and most of them aint cascar nascar fans . In fact the more you listen and read (this site) the more you hear people that really hate the series big time even on the new race line radio show fans are asking the anoucers not to discus nascar cts to much,could it be because they are scared of geting smothered by the big show or is it because the majoraty (not all) of the drivers,owners and crews are arrogent ***** ? or is it because as l was told we are all jealous Saturday nite wanabee's

Careful with the language Sue.

Sue, I don't think calling the drivers, crews, and owners arrogant ****** is called for. In fact knowing Scott Steckly, in addition to a few of his crew members for as long as I have... Which is about 5 years, I can safely say that these guys are hardly arrogant. Truth be told, they’re great guys who work full time jobs during the off season.

Thats a good one a lot of people have got behind the series and people talking about the series bad or good helps as sponsors see people are talking about it.

So your saying it is our fault the NASCAR series hasn't grown is because of our comments here. OK lets close the board down? NOT

Thats a first... being called arrogant ... did someone do something in her Corn Flakes !!
Hey Sue I hate to burst your bubble but 99% of the PEOPLE in this Series are very much down to earth, hard working, competetive people and work as teams better then most marriges.
Another point is, every racer comes from grass routes racing, saturday night door slammers, sunday- I prayed in my race car instead of church, Tailgates were ment for tool boxes not beer type of individuals.

Please dont hammer all of us, or put us all in the same category as we are caught up in racing as bad as any race fan has it, the only differance is we spend allot more money providing the entertainment.
You are more then welcome to voice your opionon, hell knows I have in the past, but we are all trying to do a great job in the NASCAR CTS series by working hard, dealing with sponsors, dealing with the media, dealing with the sanctioning body, all at the same time trying to race and put on a good show for the paying public. The only differance between a Saturday night racer, and what we do, is the fact that when everyones out havin fun racing on Saturday night, were all back in our shops working on race cars. Was the Saturday night racing better for all of us ?? HELL YEA !!
But were racers and we all feel the same way about it.
Hell, we live for racing so much if someone could invent a way to bottle the smell of race fuel in a aftershave we would all wear it... Now thats dedication at its best !!!

I don't even get what is going on here. As for this NASCAR/CASCAR hating stuff, if you've ever watched windtunnel you hear the complaints all time from people saying there is too much talk about NASCAR and they want some other forms of racing to be showcased. Its amazing how many people talk so badly about NASCAr on tv and message boards, but yet they still watch it. MOst of the people on this board are diehard race fans in general be it NASCAR or a weekly show on a Saturday night.
To me the series never grew becasue Canadian simply are not as invovled in Stock Car racing as Americans are. It is the same for baseball. How many Canadian make baseball a weekly past time? Americans do. Our past time can be considered hockey I guess, but when it comes to racing, Canadians are more into the road course stuff. Most of our go karting is aspahlt road racing , whereas in the US it is a lot mroe Oval. The majority of people I know that say the ywatch racing only watch NASCAR and can't be considered a real race fan. The truth is simply that the general Canadian public needs to see the NASCAR name before they get invovled in something. I've witnessed people make fun of CASCAr never having seen what it was simply becasue it wasn't NASCAR.

Any publicity is good publicity too is a saying is it not. Tehre may be some talk on this board and other places, but I think we all have a right to say the things we do since we all buy tickets to CASCAR races and are the core of the CASCAR fanbase; and some of us even spend hundreds of thousands on owning a raceteam.

I've been around the cascar/nascar circuit for four years. I have come to know many of the drivers and crew members. To say that they are arrogant is not right. I'll admit some of them (very few) have attitudes, but most of that comes from them having a bad day qualifying or practicing. I walk up and down on autograph session day like very other fan and have never had a problem with any of the drivers or crew being arrogant. These guys work very hard including the smaller funded teams. But all and all the general atomsphere is positive. A lot of these drivers have come from Friday or Saturday night racing. That's how they got started. Nascar now promotes their "Home Tracks" with commericals to show that this is how racers got started.

Nascar now promotes their "Home Tracks" with commericals to ~~show that this is how racers got started~~ save their asses from losing a bunch of tracks/sponsors over the past few years, an arguably to appease the anti-Montoya sentiments from some...
