Question

It used to be if you built a better Mouse Trap, the world would beat a path to your door, now NASCAR will beat a path to your BANK!

Answer 1

give us an example

are you talking about being creative?

or breaking the rules?

ALL sports have some rules and guidelines,  

Answer 2

NFL gave Chad Johnson so much of a hard time about Ocho Cinco that he literally had to change his name to get that on his jersey!  It's a tie between NASCAR and NFL.

Answer 3

I don't know if it's the only one, but NASCAR is definitely penalizing creativity.  It wasn't always that way, though.  I still have hope that NASCAR will back away from some of these ridiculous rules.

Answer 4

seems like it

Answer 5

seems it...work hard within the guidlines...quit it so others can "catch up".  

Answer 6

NASCAR views it as having too big of an advantage over the other teams.

Answer 7

Just think BASEBALL.

Do some research on Gaylord Perry... he was the most CREATIVE pitcher in the major leagues in his era.

Vaseline, nail files, scuffed balls, spit...just to name a few....hahaha!

Answer 8

Yes. You can't be innovative in NASCAR.
