There are more than a dozen NASCAR fans where I work and I've heard nothing but favorable comments on your new format. Many of us cannot afford to travel to Florida, Alabama, etc., to see races but that doesn't diminish our love of the sport. Even though we watch the race on TV, we still enjoy reading about it the next day, too. Having a story about the individual drivers is an added plus.

I especially appreciate the continued listing on drivers' qualifying position before the race and finishing positions and standings after the race in the Scoreboard section. Knowing where our favorite driver finished and how close he is in the points to becoming a Winston Cup champion is just as important to us as the races are.
