He is right , I have got to where I do not even watch the almost identical cookie cutter boring mile and a half races every week . I do watch the races that aren't on the cookie cutters .

Ding Ding Ding Harvick is your winner folks as to why the current version of nascar isn't good for everyone!! Harvick seems to know what the fans would like to see.. And thats why he is a great ambassador for the sport!!

Yeah he knows those cookie cutters are not cutting it anymore and something needs to change. more 1/2 mile, 3/4 mile to 1 mile tracks would produce good racing. Just look at dirt track racing and the size tracks they run on.

Not much of a Harvick fan, but he makes a lot of sense.. you have no idea how that pains me....LOL

I've been saying this all year in some of the Nascar threads. Maybe Harvick checks out 4m? Ya think?

You know, I try to avoid most of your lame brained posts but this one is just plain Coo Coo!!! Good grief what the **&^% does the size of the small dirt tracks have to do the NASCAR???? You want 43 cars trying to run on a quarter mile asphalt or what? Are there larger crowds watching these smaller dirt tracks?

And another point. The dirt late models could not possibly run on 1.5 mile or larger dirt tracks, the teeth rattling shock of driving on the high speed surfaces and the over whelming wear to the drive train and suspension would be too much. With a much smaller operating budget how would you expect that they could possibly prepare such large surfaces that a 1.5 or larger dirt track would require?

One flew over the Coo Coo's next once again!!!

I think your wrong Clayton....

Yeah Mud, I think the 1/2 to 3/4 tracks produce some of the best racing but, NASCAR got Greedy and it has cost them.

It wont change anything the public isn't fooled by field fillers and rent a ride drivers that now make up half the 43 cars out there.

What do you mean it's been thus way for a long long time. You have always had just a handful of teams that could win on a consistent basis.

True, but now that handful is considerably larger then it used to be, early on there were maybe 5 or 6 cars that could win with any regularity and today there are probably twenty...and some think that the sport has gotten worse....

yeah a handful of teams, was 25 cars, now it is down to only a handful of CARS.

I agree, I just like what Harvick had to say. It's worth a try that's got sure.
