LOL, so you are saying because Tony Stewart made a fool of television for saying BS? And saying BS doesn't hurt NASCAR, and if fans HONESTLY FELT THAT STRONGLY about it over saying BS, then HOW do THE FANS look past the LIQUOR and BEER is MY POINT! It might not make money for saying BS, but it SURE DOESN'T lose any of it either! It brings fans to watching interviews alot more often than not if there is heat between 2 drivers now doesn't it. So in that aspect, you could say that saying little things like BS could make NASCAR money, because PEOPLE in GENERAL watch for things like this! IT DRAWS ATTENTION MEANING RATINGS GO UP, MEANING MORE MONEY IN THE LONG RUN! And one more thing, I am not asking for changes and could care less if drivers had terets and cussed every breath or if they drunk shots of jack during interviews, saying a cussword and getting a $25,000 fine and docked 25 points is BS! Whether it is Tony, Dale or Jeremy Mayfield, lol!

You're missing my point. IMO, NASCAR doesn't want a loud mouth like Stewart saying BS just because he can on television because it makes NASCAR look like fools. New sponsors with deep pockets don't want to their products associated with individuals like Stewart. Not too long ago, when Stewart was really a hothead, Home Depot threatend to pull their sponsorship if I remember correctly. NASCAR isn't shooting for advertisers like Quaker State anymore, they want Sony and Microsoft on their cars.

And they could care less about family values - as you mentioned, they would have to answer to why they like Winston be their main sponsor for years and why they allow alcohol and liquor to be advertised if they truly cared about family values.

NASCAR had to fine/penalize Stewart because the bar was set with Junior a few years ago over the same thing.
