Is there a way NASCAR could contribute to the American automotive industry?

May be...

NASCAR wouldn't be around if it wasn't for the American auto industry. NASCAR has also set so many rules and made so many regulations, that they've squeezed themselves into a tiny little box. It's definitely not like it used to be. Of course over a period of time, we change. But now that our auto industries are suffering, could you think of any way that NASCAR could change, that would actually "give back" to the American automotive industry, or promote their re-growth into our faltered economy.

The auto industry is in trouble because of there policies, unions and building inferior and unwanted cars. NASCAR doesn't need to help them. They need to totally change how they do business. FORD is leading them all. They haven't taken one dime of the taxpayers money and are weathering through these tough times. If they can do it then everyone else should follow there lead and business practices.

Yes drop the COT and go back to stock bodies. NA$CAR history id dep in tradition of using stock cars that made for good debates and arguments about what auto is fastest/best. Why would a car that is a chevy but looks exactly like ford,,dodge, or toyota spur interest in someone to buy it.

why they would just keep giving millions to there Ceos and cry broke again

NASCAR could do more to promote the brands. The cars have been custom built race cars for decades but they had differences between models that were still easy to see. The COT is truly identical no matter what the stickers say. They could find a way to make them more distinctive.

This question is pretty much a kick in the face. Chrysler filed for bankruptcy right after their was billions of dollars given to them in bailout money. Basically what that means is that they didn't have the money to pay their retired workers and such so we the people get to use our hard earned money and tax paying dollars to pay these people what Chrysler couldn't. Think about it. I don't think they need sh*t if you ask me, from NASCAR or anybody. Sorry but Nascar will survive without them.th55 gps
