Yesterday Matt Kenseth won the Daytona 500 kicking off the Nascar season. The race is regarded as the super bowl of Nascar.
So the first thought that comes to mind is why would you allow the biggest race of the year to end due to rain? Why not just move the remaining laps to Monday? Instead Nascar puts an end to what truly was a lousy race. Did anyone care who won after the wreck that took out numerous cars up front including the dominant car of Kyle Busch? Its no secret Nascar is losing money fast due to the problems car manufacturers are having so why not help yourself out and put on a show worth watching.
No race should end early. Move them back a day or reschedule them. Would the NFL end the super bowl in the third quarter. Hell no! This is the thing I hate most about Nascar is the guys winning thanks to mother nature. How can Kenseth cry on national TV after winning a race he didn't win on his own. The sad thing is those 200,000 people who payed what I'm sure is a large sum of money to see the biggest spectacle in racing and got crap.
For Nascar to continue making money they need to look after there fans. Shortening a race is not doing that.
