and kept their sponsors. They care about sponsors, not dumb shite hillbillies like yourself

Remind me how many sponsors are going to stay on when next to nobody is watching the races? Those hillbilly fans are the only fans NASCAR essentially has left. NASCAR has tried to court the younger generations as well as Urban, LGBT and Hollywood crowds for 25 years and they've never succeeded in large numbers. They aren't going to succeed now.

The only younger people who watch the sport are those who grew up with the sport. My uncle started taking me to races when I was around 10 years old and we both have the same opinion about the Confederate Flag and about Politics. So the younger fans who watch the sport most likely are ones that have the same political opinions that their fathers and grandfathers did. NASCAR isn't going to gain younger fans from this, they are going to lose the few younger fans they have.

Sponsors would've stayed and the core fanbase wouldn't be outraged right now if NASCAR had just stayed non-political. But they had to go down the same sewer that the NFL is going down.
