Am I’m lost or does it seem that Nascar is lost. Over the years watching Nascar they would take great care in remembering their roots and the drivers who put them on the map. It seems that on this Nascar has lost it’s way. They are more interested in promoting the youth in the sport which there is nothing wrong with that, but how about showing the veterans some love too.  Over the years the older drivers are being shoved to the back of the line. To their credit they have been mostly quiet about it and hasn’t said much.

The facts speak for themselves and that is people are not watching Nascar like they were. They are slowly losing their fan base and that is a real shame as Nascar fans are some of the most loyal fans around. Yes, It’s official in my mind Nascar is lost and hopefully they will find their way again.

Dale Earnhardt Jr has just four races left at the place his dad built. In a way it has to be bittersweet for Junior. Yes he is leaving to go to drive for Hendricks Motorsports and will have great teammates and great equipment to run. On the other hand no one wants to ever leave something your dad built. Junior probably thought he would be at DEI until he died. Sometimes fate works in different ways.

Junior will find success at Hendrick Motorsports just like he has everywhere else he has been. I look for Junior though in the end to come back to DEI some point in his career. I guess we will see if that happens, but in life you can never say never.

Nascar fans are the best which of course we all know that. I’ve decided that we are going to have some fun in the next few weeks besides watching some great racing. I’ve decided I wanted to do something a little different with Closer Look Nascar so let’s have some fun doing this next thing.

I’m going to need the input of the fans out their for this. I want you to list your top two drivers who you like to see in victory lane that never made it their. They could be driving now or retired. I’m interested to see what the readers think. Tomorrow I will list my two drivers who I wished had won a race. Get your responses in my adding it to the comment box on this post.
