Post-meeting thoughts

Today, NASCAR had its town hall meeting involving the owners and drivers. While it was a good thing, I can't help but think that Brian France has no intention of dealing with NASCAR's key issues. I can't help but think it was all for show to the press, to give them the impression NASCAR was listening and dealing with its key issues.

Until I plainly see that NASCAR has a comprehensive drug testing program, and give the crew chiefs a little leeway for them to adjust the new car, the meeting was much ado about nothing. It was basically a dog and pony show.

Excuse me for my cynicism, but Brian France has given me no reason to be optimistic. At best, his leadership is inconsistent. At worst, he's in over his head. Until France gives me good reason to be optimistic, I will continue to be wary of any of his pronouncements and judgments.
