Nascar has been hemorrhaging sponsorship for about a decade. Why alienate viewers? Just get the Tampax car already.

They really might have considered at least making a call to the folks at Gillette.

Whoever did the survey that showed a 50/50 split for NASCAR fans on guns also must have done Hillary’s presidential polls.

Brian France ruined NASCAR.

He decided to make the sport which his grandfather started a personal political forum.

Attendance has dropped very dramatically.

This newest boondoggle will only accelerate NASCAR’s complete implosion.

Last year I spent several weeks in Eastern Europe. I was very surprised to see the most popular children’s toys were guns.

Most were what the left calls assault weapons. They were being sold in stores and by street vendors. This was especially true in Poland.

It makes you wonder how many of these CEO’s are being paid by the Deep State to ruin once great organizations and companies. As for auto racing it’s small track races that Americans are flocking to. There’s none of the corporate PC BS there you see with NASCAR and that other joke of a “major” auto racing circuit in America known as IndyCar, and a helluva lot cheaper to get tickets to watch no frills car racing!

“We just heard from NASCAR on a number of gun-related ads and unfortunately, due to a gradual shift in NASCAR’s position on guns...”

Figures. NASCAR is also making a gradual shift away from real stock-car racing and indeed competitive car racing in general.

I fell away from NASCAR a few years after Dale Earnhardt was killed at Daytona (I was there to see it). The older generation of racers slowly retired, successive rule-changes , and playing lite-politics with the Obama’s & Clintons — I just washed my hands of it. I don’t even check to see where they’re racing this week or who won on Sunday. Makes not difference to me.

What genius of an executive believes this will result in fewer empty seats?

The shift is not away from guns, but, away from crazy people with guns.

The soul went out when the money poured in. Now it's become like other sports, fake(the sport and the participants)and over-commercialized.

...PC wrecks(pun intended)everything/everyone it infects.

...'cept(of course)those demolition experts setting the charges. They build it up on bullsh t, siphon off as much as they can, then burn it down and collect the insurance money...moving on to the next ripe fruit.

...land of the fleeced and the home of the brazen.

I worked for Elmo Langley in the early ‘70’s...

At that time, you could really tell the cars apart...Ford, Plymouth, Dodge, Chevy...

Lately, the only way you can what kind of car is from the hood decal/ornament...Cookie cutter cars...

NASCAR is gone....

Most Freepers may not believe this, but this country has been filled with passive, unambitious people for a long time. Sure, there were times when they exercised great courage under duress. But when you look at our nation's history you see it dominated by a small number of strong, ambitious, capable leaders ... with most people just doing whatever the hell they were told.

Heck -- the TV industry (and all its related sports programming) is BUILT on a foundation of mindless slop that is mass-marketed to passivity.

Trust fund kids. It's not a healthy society when the level of wealth is out of whack with one's ambitions.
