They are pulling a sham on the American public and eventually it will come out. Again like the worthless WWF wrestling they lost a lot of their viewer base when it came out that they were actors and not real wrestlers.

I would say that if you want racing, watch racing. If you want a spectacle watch NASCAR. You really
can't balme them for making it the way they do. There is no disputing that it is a VERY popular, well marketed, and profitable series.
Although I see why you make the analogy to WWF wrestling, I don't think it is entirely true. I don't want to take anything away from the NASCAR drivers, as I am sure they really are trying to race and win. But the NASCAR organization are the ones manipulating the equipment to make the racing close. Unfortunately, I don't think the spectators could care less about that, all they want is an exciting event.
I prefer REAL racing, with technology, engineering development and 'secrets'. Personally, I would rather watch one F1 race than a whole season of NASCAR.
