There have been many changes to Nascar over the years, but changes are expected by fans and also by driver’s who are circling around a racetrack at speeds that exceed 200 miles per hour at times. The driver is an expert at changing speeds and lanes and changing speeds once again to be within the legal limits of those speeds posted on pit row.

Most of the changes in Nascar racing have occurred over time and have been directly related to the high-speed pursuits around million dollar raceways. Some of those changes have been painful ones but the Nascar family has remained strong through each of them. Some of the most violent experiences that occasionally occur at a raceway will no doubt cause some people to rethink their past relationships with sponsors, owners, and family.

The cascading effects of those thoughts might lead drivers to other action and cause them to change their driving commitments and their relationship with the world of Nascar excitement. These changes will in turn, put them on a new career path that is a welcome change but a change that might not be a delight to all fans who do not have a full understanding on why those changes needed to happen.

Some of these changes are due to a repositioning of priorities by a team owner or the change might occur because a driver needs to take a step back and rethink things long enough to begin establishing a new view on self-worth and on the view that commitment to self should take precedence and priority over family persuasion and other control factors. No changes that occur in Nascar should directly impact the drivers ability to keep the commitments that are expected by fans. Fans expect their favorite drivers to give their all to win the race they are in, no matter what team they are driving for that year.

Some changes in Nascar racing can keep that from happening though. In an instant, enthusiasts may have more action than they bargained for when they must see the gut wrenching tragedies unfold in front of them. These tragedies can change people in an instant because the action comes from race cars that inadvertently crash at inopportune moments into the various turns of any raceway. Other drivers are lost while they are enroute to the track.

Fare affected by the change and are committed to remembering those moments many times through the years with reverence. The commitment of fans to Nascar and their driver is what keeps changes from dampening the endearing spirit of the crowds. There is one change that will never occur. The fans will always be there on race day and every day after in some small way.

This sport is no longer watchable. NASCAR has completely ruined this sport. There’s no competition, the cars aren’t and don’t look like stock cars. They go down the straight aways sideways. And the point system is a joke. And 90% of the caution flags are for debris. This by far is the most boring of NASCAR seasons ever.

I know I’m not the only one who thinks this way, just look at all the empty seats at all of the races. The ticket prices are outrageous and the excitement and thrill of the sport is gone. NASCAR needs to make some serious and drastic changes for next year, to try and make it more competitive as well as put the excitement back in the sport for the fans.

One of my ideas would be to give a quarter point to a driver for every lap he leads, that way you don’t have drivers busting their tail to lead just one lap to get there five bonus points and then drop back. If a driver gets a quarter point for every lap he leads then that gives them some incentive to race for the lead every lap. Then you have the tire situation they had at Indy, that was a joke. Here you have one of the most traditional races on the schedule and they have to throw a caution every 10 or 12 laps to change tires.

NASCAR needs to go back to the old days where they didn’t mandate everything and let these guys set their car up the way they want to and let them go racing. I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m done watching this sport until something is done to make it more exciting. And as much as I hated to do it, I gave up my Bristol tickets. It’s no longer worth the time and money to make that trip twice a year.

It is no secret that Ford Motor Company is exerting extra efforts to be back in the automotive spotlight. Earlier, Ford launched its Bold Moves, the automaker’s advertising strategy that is made up of several episodes and product launches.

Bold Moves, the online documentary of Ford, includes the Way Forward plan. The latter is designed to convey the essence of building Ford vehicles. The documentary also shows Ford’s programs aimed at guiding its workers who are about to lose their job due to find new employment.

“The documentary will present a picture of a company that is committed to revitalization through our people, products, improved quality and costs, and a laser-sharp focus on the customer,” said Mark Fields, Ford’s President of the Americas. “Each episode will provide evidence that it’s not business as usual at the Ford Motor Company and that ‘Change or Die’ is not a sound bite. It’s the way we’re approaching our future.”

According to Mary Lou Quesnell, director of Ford Brand DNA, “Over time, the body of work we are creating will tell a compelling story about bold products, bold leadership and Ford’s customer focus. We will provide both sides of the conversation and let America watch Ford’s turnaround as it happens.”

Bold Moves is produced by JWT Detroit and JWT New York. Said production is directed by Radical Media Inc., a famed New York-based production company. The latter has already established its name in making quality documentaries. In fact, it was given the highly-acclaimed Academy Award in its previous production.

Part of Bold Moves is the introduction of striking vehicle lineup to revive its charisma and lure more car enthusiasts. Its new lineup includes the rear-wheel drive Fusion, C1-based Focus, Fiesta, and the Mustang. Auto parts Ford Focus are subjected to several enhancements. Consequently, Ford Fiesta performance parts and Ford Mustang parts accessories are painstakingly tested to pave way to powerful vehicles that bear the automaker’s unmistakable quality and performance.

Other Ford brands will also have empowered vehicle lineup. Lincoln will maintain the production of MKZ/Zephyr and Town Car. Mercury, on one hand, will be offering Montego, Milan, and Meta-one.

I am about to buy a BMW M5 with manual transmission and I was wondering if it is possible to convert it from manual to auto or automanual? If so, where can I get it done? How much will it cost?
