Miscellaneous Commentary

• Coming up with stuff to write for a blog on a regular basis is hard work.

• Michael Waltrip is an unapologetic homer for NASCAR and the France family.

• A Franchise by any other name...

NASCAR is going to finally start clamping down on the number of teams one person can own. I guess they have had enough of Jack Roush running the table. I can't say I disagree with the idea, but they have also said they are not in the business of granting franchises. Let's see, NASCAR has a say in who can sponsor a car (Remember the controversy of hard liquor and Penthouse magazine?) and influence over who can drive. Hmmm... controlling revenue streams and labor. Sounds like a franchise to me.

• This sport has become so homogenized and genericized, it is quickly losing its appeal for me.
