lots of cheating in NASCAR. It seems like I'm always hearing of someone getting docked points.

Yeah i read that, it sucks but it's nice to see NASCAR is enforcing its rules and not letting people off easy because they're popular. How much would it suck to start the season with -25 to -100 points.

I don't understand how people can enjoy cars going around the same track for 500 laps......It's so boring

there really isnt as much cheating as you would think..at least in terms of "getting away" with stuff. theres pre race inspection, post race inspection, strict rules throughout testing and practices...just like all the other racing sports. you just hear about it more with NASCAR because of its size

They trust the crew and crew chief to do everything right...unfortunately, sometimes they do stuff like this.
any driver who claims to have no knoledge is either a terrible driver or out and out lieing.

90% of your drivers, especially nascar take a hands on approach when it comes to their cars. alot of these guys started in local dirt track open wheels so they are very into what goes on with their car.
