The thing is every year since 1989 when Nascar allowed GM to run the LUMINA, A front wheel drive V6 Car but as a rear wheel drive V8, Nascar no longer was stock car racing.. So this isn't something new.. it has been going on for over 20 years now.. But you need to think of something.. There is no way Nascar could go back to strictly "Stock Cars", not with the tracks they have now... Even If they required stock drivetrains, with mods the teams could make to the cars they would be reaching speeds of over 180MPH, there would be no way the bodys of these cars could withstand a 170+ MPH crash and keep the driver safe. they would have to have special frames and roll cages. Too many drivers have been killed in the last 10 years and when Dale Earnhardt was Killed at Daytona, that put the final nail in the Coffin for anything that even resembled a stock car...That is one reason for the COT, Driver Safety.

To me When Dale died is when Nascar started going down hill.. But it is still the most popular form of racing in this Country and always will be.
