    It’s been easy the last several seasons to kick NASCAR as it struggled with sinking ratings, slipping sponsorships and, worst of all, lousy racing.

    It’s not fair, though, to talk only about what’s gone wrong, particularly at a time when NASCAR is doing many things right. Those positive turns are often overlooked, partly because it’s far more fun to flog all the flaws than it is to dish out credit for making positive change.

    It’s been almost a year since NASCAR opened its ears in two town-hall style meeting between top executives and the competitors. The sport was in trouble— the economy had wreaked havoc on everyone’s bottom line, and nobody was all that thrilled with the competition—and NASCAR was willing to listen to ideas.
