You hit the nail squarely on the head. Your article says everything all Nascar fans have been saying for at least two seasons. But, Nascar never listens. Old Brian France will never listen until the fans start talking with their wallets and Bri-Bri feels it in his checkbook.

I would only add one thing to your list and that would be a complete revamping of the points system. First of all, dump the Chase. I hate knowing that most of the big name drivers are only points racing for the first 26 races of the season. Earnhardt Jr and Jeff Gordon said as much a few times this past season. Nascar needs a simpler format for points, one that's similar to the IRL points system. You get one point for winning the pole, one for leading the most laps and then a graduated number of points depending on the driver's finishing position. No muss, no fuss and no points racing, just drivers doing some real racing all season long.
