We have reached our final week off as the Cup series moves into its final stretch of races. For those at the highest level, this weekend signals the calm before the storm. This week was still a busy one. A rough economy signaled trouble from a major manufacturer and NASCAR lost a friend and champion of safety. Here are some good articles from this past week and vintage (if you can call it that) Insiders for your reading enjoyment.

Nascar has become too safety conscious, hensforth…boring. There are no passing opportunities. Just pit strategy. Whatever happened to the old Cale Yarbourgh, Bobby Allison days? Petty was a half a lap back when that crash occured, and NASCAR had no problem with the strategy.
NASCAR is boring…line racing with restricter plates.
NASCAR is now for morons, not thrill seekers. Dale, roll over in your grave.
