Brokanomics mentality is instant gratification in action: It creates a void of understanding to those who decides to partake in its procedure. It does not deny anyone the right to utilize its weighty consequences. It creates a sense of satisfaction and gratification upon use.

DAYTONA BEACH -- The green flag has waved on the historic Daytona International Speedway repavement. On Monday, crews began the process by removing lights poles, safer barrier and safety fence.
The safety fence and 57 light poles in both ends of the high banks are being removed as well 8,300 linear feet of safer barrier throughout the facility. The asphalt removal is expected to begin later this week or early next week.
If NASCAR really wants to make its Race for the Chase really count for something, then I suggest the stock-car giant move the Daytona 500 to the last race of the season. That would bring so much more excitement to the sport.
Heresy, you say. Let's be real. NASCAR's TV ratings are down, and even with the excitement of Saturday's Coke Zero 400 under the lights, the crowd was no where as large as the 500 attracts. Make the Daytona 500 the real "Super Bowl" of NASCAR.
