NASCAR
Problem: Nobody gives a poo poo about the first 95% of the race unless there's a wreck.
Fix: (1 x # of miles in a lap) point(s) for the leader per lap, 1 point minimum (so 1 point for leading a lap at Martinsville or Bristol, 2.5 for leading a lap at Daytona, and so on). Bonus points for fastest pit time. Finish scoring the same as now (43 for first down to 1 for 43rd).

No longer is it beneficial to cruise around in third the whole way and only race for the lead in the last few laps. No longer beneficial for a teammate in the lead to drop off for a lap and let his teammate get ahead for the one-lap point as it actively costs him points.

Problem: Rain causing red flags that last for hours, and races scheduled for Sunday not getting run until Monday or Tuesday as a result of delays.
Fix: Every team brings a junker car that's capped at 75mph or whatever, and in the event of a lengthy rain delay all 43 racers get in their junkers and drives a demolition derby. Last car running wins all remaining lap points (so 200 laps left @ 1 mile, demo derby is for 200 points), no pit stops.

NFL
Problem: Game destroys those who play, but owners want more games per year.
Solution: Three more bye weeks per team. Stretches season to 20 weeks, giving 3 more weeks of games to sell it to networks but the players actually get more in-season rest. Also sort of balances the issue where some teams have a bye Week 4 and have to play 13 weeks in a row going into Wild Card Weekend. Also gives more teams a shot at getting nationwide coverage on TNF/SNF/MNF to improve their image & popularity throughout the country because those games won't be as dominated by Broncos/Patriots/NFC team on a win streak.
