Bloggers are always one step ahead

Not wishing to blow my own horn, but it seems I beat mainstream US racing magazine Racer to the punch on suggesting franchising as a way to address the issues with NASCAR's current qualifying system. You can see the article here.

Not that there's anything wrong with Racer, far from it actually - I recently subscribed to it, after being pleasantly surprised at the high standard of journalism from an American magazine. I have one other US subscription, and that is to Road Racer X, a great motorcycle racing rag.
