You never heard those guys bitching because they didn't have the kind of cars they have today. They were actually " Stock Cars " for the most part. I agree these guys complain way to much. So it's not a 69 Charger sliding its ass all through the turns , its a fabricated replica of a modern day " BODY " style that has nothing under it but a chassis that is built out of tubes and sheet metal !! Get over it guys and race !!

Considering how many of these guys came up through the ranks--from midgets all the way through dirt track and legends cars and whatnot--why would they complain now?  Every other level of racing has a crappier-handling set of vehicles.

Somebody needs to look at this from a fan's perspective, though: these cars are UGLY.  This is a huge step backwards, aesthetically.  Why not build cubes and stick wheels on them?

Finally: it's RACING, people.  What are you complaining about?  You go fast, turn left for hours and hours and hours.  If people want to watch that on TV and you don't mind wasting hours of your life doing it, then great.  But to be in such a cushy--dare I say, non-working class, privileged...bourgeois?--position as to have the best cars and the highest ratings, and more money than drivers at any other level, and then to whine about minor handling issues...shut up!  Is this a sport for crybabies?!

I agree with you Mark. These drivers/crew chiefs bitch to much. When I hear them talk about "comfort zone" it's like they want to be driving down the interstate. Why should you be able to come up on a driver and be able to just go by them? For one thing your losing the groove he's in.
