I’m not sure what happened to the original post, I got a system error when I posted it, and it looks like it has been deleted.
I’ve thought there was an opening for a series based on traditional stock car racing, adjusting only for modern safety measures. Bring back the short tracks, add some road tracks, and wave those Confederate flags.
I saw an interview with one of the new owners yesterday and I wasn’t impressed. He reminded me of a used car salesman.
The tracks are empty and the NASCAR model has failed—finally. There is a chance for a new sanctioning body to come along, but the way NASCAR has messed up it will be hard for any group to recover the goods ole days.
Putting Toyota in the lineup put NASCAR on life support. The new stupid rules finished it off.
Not that I hate Toyota, I have two of them.
The NFL is regulated as an entertainment biz.
Handy, that.
How about NOOSECAR...?
Good post.
Bill France (”Big Bill”) was a huge, violent, ruthless man, who started NASCAR so long ago. He was not a nice guy. Look him up.
The France family has an iron tight grip on NASCAR, and are fabulously wealthy from it. They are not known for being nice, either.
I hope the teams succeed.
Counting down until all racing is forced to go electric.
Its a cold damp day down here in Daytona today.
Postponed by rain.
F1, IMSA, WRC and others don’t do that. They race in the rain.
NASCAR is the worst form of racing. That’s why attendance is declining.
Nothing says “Stock car” like a RWD V8 Toyota Camry.
After the Bubba Wallace incident at the garage, NASCAR has been reaching out to black audiences by encouraging black-owned team owners and black musicians performing at races. However, there have been no more black drivers competing at the Cup level besides Wallace.
