What are these Power Rankings?

by Grandstand Bob

Instead of giving us their opinion on who is "supposedly" the driver on the move each week why doesn't NASCAR worry about the important things like when are we going to get some more short tracks?

I'll admit last weeks race at Las Vegas was pretty good but how many more of these sister track races are we going to have to endure before we get to see another Bristol, Wilksboro or Martinsville.

Now the talk is surrounding taking a race date taken from Rockingham.  Who's going to get it?  Another mile-and-a-half track strikingly similar to Vegas or Chicago?

Remember back as short a time as two or three years ago when everyone from France on down to the commentators were all saying NASCAR was for the fans?  Do you hear that anymore?  I'm not hearing it.  If they truly believe NASCAR is for the fans why don't they put out the word we need another short track.

Put it in a major market area and stack the seating to the sky.  It will sell out every year.  Those of us watching at home will be treated to beatin' and bangin', rubbin', bump and runs, pure edge of the seat excitement all while NASCAR rakes in the bucks.

Do you care who NASCAR says is leading the Power Rankings?  I don't.  I want to see some RACING!
