Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
Glad to see you've come around to my point of view...

Unless I read you wrong, your original response to McCoy's observation
that Bruton may have a better handle on the racing business than the
Frances was to note that France owns the product, grosses more money
and employs more people. In my mind that sounded like you were saying
"they're bigger so that proves they're better". Obviously I don't buy
that line of reasoning.

Would you allow one make to run an engine with a bigger

If you were the driver, would you want more cubic inches?
More gallons in the tank? *Bigger and better brakes than
the competition?
Now you're into a realm where bigger obviously is better, but that's
not what we were originally talking about. I simply contend that it's
quite possible that if Bruton's bunch and the Frances were to swap
places, Bruton's gang could do a better job than the Frances are
doing. There's no question in my mind that Bruton is more fan-
friendly.

OK.

I can see that his approach is to your taste.

I'm not unhappy with NASCAR's choices, so, for me,
his suggestions don't make me think that he'd
be better for NASCAR than the Frances.

Dunno if I'd go that far, but it does seem that Bruton feels that
policies which favor the fans are beneficial to his interests too.
