Okay...I was real silent for a while because everything I told you guys a month ago was deemed as B.S. from a select few....Here's Mud. not poop, in your face !!
As I said then and will say again, if Petty does not find a partner they are done...100% done.
What I told you guys a month ago was true to fact and is only going to get much worse before it even thinks about getting better.
Okay...I have been holding back on this one but I think you all deserve something to kick the can at for a couple of weeks..so here it goes...gospel truth, from inside information.
Nascar is quickly changing it's format North of the border meaning Canada.
Although they have at least 8 Teams that have agreed to run in 2009, and some of them 2 car teams, Nascar has been forced to announce a new starting car schedule count per event of no less then 14.
Saying that, Nascar is struggling to even come up with the 14 cars and Canadian Tire could easily walk on the contract leaving the series for good.
If this is to happen, and it is almost certain that Nascar has failed under litagation of their contract obligations, it will mark the end of a once sucsessful racing series, known to us as Cascar.
Turn to page 2.
Beat them up all you want, but the OSS, Ontario Sportsman Series, could become the biggest series in Canada overnight as they have purposally stayed within the guidelines of the rule book of the CTS program for this purpose. It's a low cost series to run, but the bigger picture is the CTS cars are welcome within the guid lines of the OSS Rule book- without making costly changes.
Furthermore, if Nascar does fail, and it is a fact that they have already released thier Canadian Management posistions as of two weeks ago, the OSS could resign the long time supporteres of the once big league Cascar Sereis.
It would be a welcome back for sponsors like Castrol, Snap On, Fast Eddies, Turbo Blue, Goodyear Belts and Hoses to name a few that were told their sponsorships were no longer welcome under the Nascar banner.
If you think I am wrong again....then so be it, but on race day it takes racers to make the show happen, not the money grabbing jaws of Nascar.
If you dont like what you read here, then mayby it's time for you to crawl under a rock and watch what the tide brings in.
This is Canada, not Daytona, and 100% not Mooresville, so until we have huge sponsorship budgets to play with, let's all get our feet back on the ground and come to grip with the fact that we dont need to grow our sport by giving everthing away to the likes of Nascar, instead we need to focus on how we can keep it alive with what we have in our own deck of cards.
KEEP YOUR ACE'S..... AND THROW BACK THE JOKER's !!!
The BAR has been raised race fans.....
