NASCAR attempting to energize sportS
Associated Press

CONCORD, N.C. -- NASCAR plans to relax some rules this season and encourage drivers to be more aggressive and show more emotion.

NASCAR chairman Brian France says the goal is to "open it up" as an answer to criticism that the sport has grown stale.

Television ratings and attendance have slumped in recent years and NASCAR has held a series of meetings with its competitors to determine how best to improve the sport.
In addition to some internal restructuring and a transition from a wing to a spoiler on the race car, NASCAR will now permit bump-drafting at Daytona and Talladega and more contact on the race track.

France says NASCAR wants the drivers "mixing it up."

Does this mean they can give each other the finger at 190mph on National TV and not get fined by the sanctioning body and Congress? Dump the C.O.T. bring back engineering and that will return the fans, jobs would help also.

Hi sportscentralisnext, I enjoy motorsports and have to comment. What is Nascar looking for. Bump drafting at 195MPH! Loosens up the rules because Nascar seems stale! If Nascar wants to get more viewers, do away with restricter plates on thecarbs. I do not like Nascar's new ideas. ....Bob
