Without any star power nascar watchers are dwindling. Me included.
|
Segments and lucky dog are the two dumbest rules in the history of racing. Nascar should call these things contests now because this is not a race.
Painting seats different colors so it looks le there are people there is another pathetic move. |
There was a race today oops missed it was too busy looking for a place that has a machine to mount C7 grand sport tires without damaging the wheels. You are so right on dwindling fan base. I have scaled back my attendance too. 3 races a year here in Florida and now I only do one in November and usually wind up sleeping in my seat for that too. I like the segments but I had suggested at the end of the first segment the bottom third goes to the trailers and the next segment the bottom half goes.I f I knew I could be sent home after the first or second segment I would be running people over to stay in the race. Might make it interesting. Cant wait for Grand Prix race in St. Pete coming soon.

whats NASCAR?????????????????????????????????? ???

I was hoping to see NASCAR was racing C6’s. But nope. The Super Bowl was bad ass though. Go patriots. I’m glad the NBA is finally picking up. I hope someone can knock off the warriors.

Punk France & his sister have no one to blame but themselves. Last time I watched a race there were *3* "competition cautions' to allow all to come in for tires/fuel. Apparently it's a rule now occurring in all races. :crazy: Crew chiefs and their strategies are out the window in lieu of safety? How exciting. :lol: Big Bill has to be spinning in his grave. |

Lets face it....racing, and esp. oval racing of any kind has always been an "Acquired Taste". Unless someone races them self, or has a racing background and realizes whats actually involved, it gets a little boring watching cars go round in a circle making only left turns for 2 - 3 hours, and sometimes maybe more. Nascar has made this even worse with their futile attempt to make the sport something it really isn't. From the people in the booths trying to do a play-by-play (so-to-speak), to all the techno info from the sidelines they try to convey that 95% of the fans don't have a clue about. And there are the fans. 95% of them probably don't even know what wedge or camber is/does in relation to a race car. Most fans are there to drink and act crazy for a few hours. I've been to Daytona twice and while it was a spectical and interesting, (for a while), after you've witnessed it for more than hour or so it gets a little boring until the crashes occur. Everyone needs to go to a high speed Nascar race at least once in their life just to get a grasp on the actual speeds that are involved and that glorious noise of all that high horse power, but the way they are trying to make a super sport out of it just ain't working.

They don't have any trouble filling the seats for the Daytona 500, it's a sellout. Besides the seats there have always been multi colored.
No it hasn't sold out in years...even after they've removed 30k seats or more...(they don't tell you that) Bristol was the toughest ticket to get foe decades and now you can get good seats at either race on race day at the ticket booth... Nascar screwed the loyal fans for the snowflakes and millennials and the attention span for them is about 5 seconds...The loyal fans took their money and went home. Thankfully we still have good racing on dirt. |
It was a sleep fest until the crash. Restrictor plate races are the worst, until the "Big One". The Daytona 500 is a fast forward event on Tivo any more.

I'd rather watch the Rolex 24 or 24H at Daytona than a Nascar race. Much more interesting, and a whole lot more going on.

https://headlinesurfer.com/content/4...ona-internatio It's not a sellout, hasn't been in years. Hell, they removed the entire set of stands from the backstretch because they couldn't sell them. I'm hoping that with that drunk ass Brain France gone from the picture and his uncle Jim France in change things might improve. They already fixed the whole "take the cars back to the tech center and maybe by Wednesday we will know who won" crap. They're going back to tearing the winning cars down right at the track as they used to. That's a step in the right direction. Now if they get the aero issues with these Gen 6 cars fixed so the racing is good again, they might have something. |
