I'm not against the new scoring method, it does seem cool. My problem is with NASCAR's constant tendancy to screw with the sport to "make it more entertaining".
You know what's entertaining? fucking racing!! You don't have to gussy it all up with fancy TV coverage and fan participation, etc. That's the same shit that turned Olympic wrestling into the horror that is the WWE. IMO, NASCAR's already ruined the sport by trying to go main-stream.
Like Austin, it's been years since I've been excited about watching a race. I still watch Daytona... and I love catching Martinsville or the night Bristol (short tracks are teh cool!)... but overall, I don't care who wins what. All the cool drivers are retiring.
