Compared to what other sport
Compared to what other sport
I've heard that Nascar is like any other sport. I've heard it compared to
NFL, NBA, and even MLB. Well, in all of the affore mentioned sport. each
team plays another team. Never have you saw all the teams of the NFL get on
the field at the same time and bump and grind to a win. No where in
major league sports are they required to wear a certain brand of jersey,
shoe, helmet, bat, or glove. Whereas NASCAR mandates that each owner mush
agree to use only SUNOCO Gas, and mount only good year tires. I don't know
about the gas, but I found out today that have to pay for each set of tires.

Re: Compared to what other sport
After what happened yesterday with then tires I all the team owners
should get together and tell goodyear and nascar they are not paying for
them tires. As it was not a race it was the drivers running hot laps.

So what is your point?
The Boston marathon has 20,000 runners.
The Tour de France has a couple hundred riders.
Maybe you should try
rec.autos.sport.nascar
for a better discussion on your observation.

Now Dan, are you insinuating that we can have a decent discussion here
in RASNM? Or maybe you just think the discussion won't remain
civilized? ;D

Au contraire. All the MLB uniforms are made by Majestic--the caps are
made by New Era. Rawlings makes all the MLB baseballs, which must be
first rubbed with "Lena Blackburne's Rubbing Mud", harvested from a
secret location on the Delaware River (I'm not making that up)
NFL jerseys are all made by Reebok. Helmets are made by Ridell, and
the balls are made by Wilson.
You're right that in baseball, there is no "required" bat or glove,
although each player generally has a contract with the individual
companies (usually the one who will make the best deal for the
individual player).
As far as shoes go, teams are usually required to pick a particular
color (which is why all the Oakland A's wear white shoes, and all the
Minnesota Vikings wear black shoes). AFAIK, no major sport requires a
particular brand of shoes.

They do pay for the tires, and I believe they pay for the gas as
well.
I really don't have a problem with the "spec" tire and gas rules in
Cup racing. I remember back when they had the "Hoosier/Goodyear" tire
war (back in the early 90's or late 80's). Both companies pushed the
boundries of what a safe tire was in an effort to make a "fast" tire.
The result was a lot of torn up race cars.
As far as the spec gas goes, I know F1 had a real problem with
companies supplying "pump gas" which was in fact closer to rocket fuel
or nitromethane than gasoline :-) I don't know that they've gone to a
spec fuel, but they're pretty tight on what is allowed. Having just a
single supplier makes it easier to monitor exactly what is going in
the gas.
take care,
Scott

Nope. Sunoco supplies the racing fuel at no cost to the teams.
