Its really been amazing to watch, but a ton has changed and not overnight. I think in order to "family-tise" it for media and corporate sponsorship has done the most damage. Over haul of the image made it terrible. But if you look today, you have stuff like 4 car, multi team orgainizations where its become like a franchises which is horrible because we've eliminated the independents and smaller team which were the heart of the sport. The rules and regulations of basic racing has been terrible. Changes to the cars which made them basically all the same...the manufactures used to have more input, and cars were different. Also it less about the drivers and more about the cars...meaning the drivers and their driving styles have been eliminated. The points systems and the playoffs...cant find the right combo, but I think actually this year way makes the most sense.

There is alot more, but those are the beginning. Nascar has lost a ton of folks, ESPN has stepped away, folks arent going to the races like they use to...and its easy to see why.
