Question What does this say about NASCAR?

Does this speak volumes to anyone else or just me?

Dale Earnhardt Jr attended the V8Supercar races at Philip Island here are his impressions: “In a perfect world I would come and race fulltime in the V8 series for a year. I believe I would enjoy it. I like the format over the weekend as far as the rounds go".


SCCA Pro Racing Official Forums :: View topic - Very Well Known US Racer impressed by Aussie Sedan Racing

ALMS better than Aussie V8? If so, there is your answer Jr....

Now you've gone and done it. The Aussie will be along shortly to set you straight.

I take it that Jr. would like to experience something new. Not necessarily as a hint that NASCAR is in trouble or he doesn't want to be there. He's a racer and they will drive whatever where ever they can.

I think that is it more than anything else. However, I also think the Jr. is a car nut and would like nothing more than to be racing something sexy... like the C6R. But the siren call of money and his commitments to NASCAR keep him from doing that.

Keeping the car on the track during warmup is tricky too.
