Since most parts come from a handful of companies, not all parts are from their respective companies. This just makes the racing more even for everyone, which in a way is good. The only annoying thing is that they’ll still use the saying “What wins on Sunday sells on Monday”. In my mind you wouldn’t need the stickers if the Chevy looked anything like an Impala.

I think that NASCAR should allow the automakers to design their cars to at least somewhat resemble the real car. It will add more pride to the automaker who wins and allows a larger difference between the cars.

If the cars look more like they are supposed to it won’t hurt anyone. NASCAR would not have a change in fans, the struggling companies could get some more sales through the performance of the car, and people can once again have pride in their favorite automaker.

Along with changing the designs of the car they should be forced to use the power train of the car they are actually using to a certain displacement such as 6 L or so. By doing this, it brings a somewhat true meaning back to STOCK CAR.

All they should really need to do is to drive with an engine made by the car sponsoring them. Again, it adds a personal connection to the brand that many will lack should the Car of Tomorrow prevail.

Lastly, I don’t know if anybody else felt this way, but when gas was 4 dollars a gallon, it pained me to see cars using hundreds of gallons to go 400 miles. I think since it seems to work in other racing that NASCAR should switch to ethanol and to keep it American by using corn.

Not only would this win the hearts of many American fans, but it would legitimately help out American businesses. Just some more food for thought relating to an otherwise great sport.
