Well, I was wrong. I admit it.

And some people probably think that I can't admit being wrong for anything. LOL!
 
Re: my rant about NASCAR's cap on teams---
 
I just found out that they're going to 'grandfather' both Rousch and Hendrick's team ownership into the mix, giving them some time to comply. So the worry I had about one of the teams being worried about being cut doesn't factor into things.
 
This is a good thing. As I said, I can understand how this will help the sport in the long run. The smaller teams can't get good drivers because the bigger ones with multiple teams snag them up to fill their cars.
 
I'm still not sure about the testing thing, though. They impound the cars after qualifying, yet they can't test beforehand to find out what they might need to do to make the car run right during the race.
 
Before long, we're going to see 'cookie-cutter' cars, similar to the IROC race series uses. Yes, that makes it more driver than crew being more important. But I have problems with the direction this sport is taking.
