As a fan of all motorsports, my passion initially began in the mid-'90s as a 10 year old with NASCAR. 

Over the years, however, I developed more of an affinity for Formula One. The main reason is that I prefer the technical advancement of the series and the technical freedom the teams have, which results in cars that are very different in their characteristics and real competition among not only drivers, but teams. 

The other reason is that I, over time, became disenfranchised with the management of NASCAR. In my view, they have taken a once great racing series and made it into a spectacle that is, for traditional auto racing fans, often painful to watch. The Chase is one of many examples of such a direction taken in recent years.

So in the commencement week of the innovation that has ruined NASCAR perhaps more than anything else, I now present five proposals for improving the series the series.
