Do you like stage racing in NASCAR?

    Stage racing and this current points system much less the "Playoff" crap, is the worst idea NASCAR has ever come up with! The last STUPID thing they did was going to "The Chase". The best thing that NASCAR has done in the last 40 years was to go to the 1 point per position scoring system. But with all this Stage racing and playoffs and timed repair clock and rule changes every couple weeks is 100% BULLSH*T. The last 2 years I stopped watching NASCAR after the 26th race because I HATE the playoffs. But after this season started and they changes the points system and implemented "Stage Racing" I quit watching unless I couldn't watch paint dry or grass grow.

    With the advent of stage racing this year, I NO LONGER faithfully watch the races every weekend. I feel that the 'NEED' for aggressive driving towards the end of each stage is ridiculous and in the few early races I watched, it seemed there was an abundant amount of crashes, which had to lead to ridiculous costs for the owners. As far as I'm concerned, this need to be constantly changing things up is only leading to the ruination of what once was, EXCITING to watch. No More, not for this fan.

    "OTHER THAN SAFETY RULES FOR THE DRIVERS RESET THE RULES LIKE WHEN 'FIREBALL ROBERTS' RACED. I HATE TO BE THE ONE TO TELL YOU, HOWEVER NASCAR HAS MORE RULES THAN THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS. MR.TED SEALS HAS SOME 'OUTSTANDING' IDEAS. IF NASCAR CAN GET THE FANS BACK INTO THE STANDS AT THE TRACK THOSE 'FANS' WILL SPEND THEIR 'MONEY'. REMEMBER THOSE EMPTY SEATS DON'T MAKE 'MONEY' FOR ANY ONE. GO BACK LOOK AT THE RACE FILM FROM YESTERYEAR. JUST LOOK AT THE 'SOUTHERN 500' IN DARLINGTON, S.C. COME ON NOW! YOU HAVE THROWBACK PAINT. THROWBACK PRICES ON THE GATE, OR HOT DOGS, OR SOMETHING. LOOK AT ALL OF THE PRE RACE SHOWS? WHERE IS THE 'JOEY CHITWOOD'S' OF THE WORLD. LAST THINK ABOUT THIS IN 'FIREBALL ROBERTS' DAY WAS NASCAR COUNTING IN MEN OVER THE PIT WALL OR WHAT THEY DID? COME ON NOW!

    I like the stage racing, but why do you have to throw a caution? Keep racing and let a green flag pit stop shake up the racing order. It also lets crew chiefs know exactly when a caution is coming, and they can strategize around it. Also to many caution laps at the end of stages.

    You keep saying the all is well and getting better. You wrong! Look at your own polls. Look at your attendance. You better start listening to the fans and try to bring back some yesteryear racing excitement. Formula 1 racing is trying to get a foothold in America now. Please don't let that happen. It's like watching paint dry. Look in your history books. Do more short tracks. Throw in some dirt tracks. Mix it up. It's almost all mile and a half after mile and a half tracks. Same drivers, same cars, same show. You have to make it different somehow. Don't race all weekend long. The working man has to be back to work Monday morning. He can't spend the weekend driving. Do more Saturday nights. And lower your gate prices.
