Why? Because if they didn't, I would guess the races would be run with far less than 43 cars. At least with the start and parks, Nascar can brag that they have full fields, despite the fact that a number of them drop out in less than 10 laps.<br /><br />BTW, in case anyone is interested, there's a great front page article on the state of Nascar, including the huge ratings drop.

It's certainly a fair question to ask, and I do hope Terry wasn't trying to intentionally dance around the start-and-park issue with his answer and that team is actually there to race this weekend.<br /><br />IF this is another planned start-and-park for them though I just have to wonder:<br /><br />a.) if NASCAR openly endorses this practice as a completely acceptable part of the sport why are people still trying to cover it up and hide from it?<br /><br />and<br /><br />b.) why not take that tremendous opportunity for TV time to explain your situation on the air, point out your team's potential, and make a pitch for a sponsor that could let them run all day?stricklinfan82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01808897974344304657noreply@blogger.com
