Where I live we had an astounding 8 UMP late models on Saturday. We had 10 last Saturday, but 2 blew up. Anyhow a new car shows up and tapes up another guys car number inorder to get UMP points. So yeah it's pretty well the same thing.
I just don't think AJ is the great American hero everyone wants to make him out to be. Didn't he basically marry into money and that combined with driving ability is what got him to where he is in racing? Sure he is a tough bulldozer rolling old man who has won 4 500's. I am also not a fan of the "my dad races, so I have to" mentality that the Andretti's seem to have. This really takes away from what many of us think racing should be.
No matter how mediocre this makes "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" (which is just a marketable title), any changes to try and prevent this will almost always be able to be circumvented.
