Good day race fans, and welcome to RacersReunion, a site we know is read by folks that matter. Recently... like this morning... I was looking at the NASCAR  schedule, for reasons that escape me now, and couldn't help but notice something missing. Days off! "Off weekends!" Remember those? I'm serious as a heart  attack here, and I think I found the answer to a lot of the problems that NASCAR doesn't think it has. You and I might tend to think differently.

Suddenly, I find myself looking lovingly back to the days when we only ran 29 or 30 races each season. Those now seem like the "good ol' days", when there were strategic breaks in the schedule that allowed drivers, crews, entire teams and let's face it... fans... to take a break once in a while, if for no other reason than to allow the human body to regenerate.
