To wit: "NHL commissioner Gary Bettman reinstated Ducks owner Henry Samueli on Thursday, lifting an indefinite suspension imposed almost 18 months ago in response to his guilty plea of lying to the Securities and Exchange Commission." That comes from the Orange County Register this week. Also, the NFL is loaded with felon players. Some who have done hard time for violent acts. Last I looked, the NFL was doing quite well, thank you. So, while none of this is comforting, DO NOT say that NASCAR is somehow more morally corrupt than other pro sports organizations. Or even Congress. (I'm looking at you Mark Sanford). Carguy Bob:

You think GM dominating Nascar is new??????? Nascar has shown favortism to GM or Chevy, after Jeff Gordon and Dale Sr domintion of point titles Nascars gives them a new SB2 Engine, then in 2007 after winning apox 70% Daytona 500s, and 80% of the Talledaga races for 12 years Nascar gives the a new RO7 Engine! No wonder they have won so many manufacterers titles!! Just let any brand, Dodge, Toyota, or Ford dominate like that and you will see a quick rule change by Nascar to even it up!!!! I bet you if Jimmy Johnson was driving another brand by the time he won two point titles his wings would be cliped by Nascar! Makes me wonder doesnt the other brands have the rights to win like Chevy! GM has great cars and teams but enough is enough, its so bad now that Chevy fans I know are not going to Nascar races like they use to! This is one of the major reasons ‘Car Fans” are leaving Nascar!!!

What other major sports organization allows felons to own sports teams? Answer: None! And people wonder why stands are empty and TV ratings are dropping. NASCAR has no credibility with with a growing cross-section of the American public.
