Maybe the characters are the same but their personality certainly changes from actor to actor. Which is why Bale is doing such a great job. He's a crazy motherfucker. I like his intensity. |

Well if you had Bruce Willis and Screech playing the same role their personalities would be different too, so... However this isn't a movie, this is a racing series, and the point I was trying to make is if the same 5 guys end up with the top of the line cars and crews then you never know who the next top guy will be, because even though you will get some Brendahn Gaughan's you will get eventually come across a Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch. I mean Shrub took off in 2004 battling Truex for the title, now imagine how well he would have done if Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson ran the full schedule in the top HMS stuff just because they wanted too, or Dale Jr. ran the entire season instead of Truex who won the title. I mean it's just my opinion, but I would rather watch some new guys on Saturday's than the same guys lead a day and a half of racing. |

Also it shouldn't be that hard to find the Busch series standings. Took me like 10 minutes to find out that Busch and Truex was 2004 before I thought to check Yahoo sports, because no one else would give me any Nationwide standings before last year. Nascar.com was useless as usual. Didn't realize that was so long ago though, I thought it was like 07.

Where did you go? I went to NASCAR.COM and the years go all the way back to 1982 on the NW side. ![]() And going by your logic then would you rather see someone else in cup because those guys have been there far too long and because drivers like Jimmie lead basically lead 85% of the races he wins? Lets face it my brother, having a driver with a name is going to pull in more money and or higher ratings then a driver with no name. But overall NASCAR is is a failling sport and I dont care who runs where. |

Difference is back not so long ago the NW series had drivers that could compete. Jr, Kenseth, Truex, Harvick. All guys who dominated that series. Its rare you find drivers like that who people can care about |

My logic is going in the exact opposite direction of that. I don't care about the same Cup drivers running for 10 years or whatever, but seeing them run over both series for that long gets old. Like Brian was saying it was nice seeing guys come up that you could cheer for and who would dominate a series, but you never see that anymore, which is true because they all have to fight for 5th nowadays, and nobody cares about who finishes 5th unless you already like the guy. As for the ratings, they have names now, and they still seem to be dropping. A name isn't everything, you have to have someone that people can care about and people don't care about a lot of these guys especially the guys that double dip. It's kind of a funny coincidence to me that 3 of the most disliked drivers on the circuit, Shrub, Edwards and BK, are the 3 that are doing this to the Nationwide series. As for Nascar.com I tried there and for some reason it wouldn't load anything to do with the Nationwide series other than this year. Cup would load just fine and go back years, but it wouldn't load Nationwide for some reason. I never have had any luck with their site though, so it's par for the course. ![]() As for the last part I do agree with you there. I'm not going to get upset and boycott the Nationwide series because of the Cup guys, if I am bored enough to sit down and watch the Nationwide series, I obviously don't care who's in it because I have nothing better to do. |
