I'm not sure what I want the outcome of this lawsuit to be. How could this have an outcome that makes NASCAR better for the fan? When the teams got more power over the Indycar series way back in the day it pretty much killed the sport. It still exists today, but at a smidgeon of the cultural relevance they had beforehand.
I don't want that to happen to NASCAR, but I also really don't want the teams to lose this lawsuit, because it's correct that the financial model the sport is built on right now is not sustainable, and pay drivers are already beginning to creep into a sport that used to be known in the 90s (a time most racing series were infested with pay drivers) for not having any.
Something really ought to change, but I (as a fan with zero monetary investment) really don't want that change to be teams gaining the ability to bargain with the sanctioning body. I think this bit of news is tough for the NASCAR fan out there. I'm surely not the only one who is conflicted about it.
Let's go Tigers!
