    Can't say as I'm upset. NASCAR has gotten so far from 'stock car' racing it's a joke! :grinyes:

     April Fools? Or just Political Fools.  :dunno:

     This is not going to be popular. I know people that aren't even into cars or hot rodding and they follow NASCAR like a cult.  :popcorn:

    This is the quote that makes it seem necessary:
    "A complete withdrawal from America’s premier racing series is expected to save more than $250 million between GM and Chrysler, a substantial amount considering the drastic measures being implemented elsewhere."

    Reload the link - it now reads "April Fools."

    Don't they know the point of a April Fools prank is to wait until the last moment to reveal the prank??  Of course, their website was probably being brought to it's knees with people firing back nasty responses.

    Even being an April fools joke, I agreed with a lot that was writen in the fake story.
    I stopped watching years ago when all the cars were the same.
    I wish they would go back to being real cars, but that is where I enjoy those austrailian super cars and the Rolex road racing events. V8s and stock bodies, wish they would show more of it on TV.
