And to think they let Edwards go for Suarez.

Edwards retired, homie.

I’d love to see Suarez say frick you to Toyota and Gibbs and take Arris to Stewart-Haas. Only way he ends up over there.

I've never been one to just straight up say "NASCAR is dying." Now, though, I am saying it: NASCAR is dying.
NASCAR needs major changes. It doesn't draw enough eyes anymore for major sponsors to want to enter into it, which means teams don't get major sponsors who can provide them with sufficient money to afford to compete in an increasingly expensive sport. If NASCAR doesn't make major changes to at least try to draw more eyes to it, or if they don't try to cut the costs of competing in NASCAR, then it is already doomed.

It wont be back until I see Budweiser, SKOAL, Copenhagen, KODAK, Folgers, Hardees, Hooters, TIDE and WINSTON as sponsors.
oh and Mustaches on majority of drivers!
MAKE NASCAR GREAT AGAIN!

It's a really stupid business model. I'm still pissed that the state of Alabasma spent resources to make the interstate 3 lanes going to Talladega for twice a year event while Shelby County traffic was ignored. Let NASCAR due.

Here is the business model. Put every race back on broadcast TV. You reduce the amount of people able to watch by putting things on cable networks.
Some other ideas to get people back in the seats.
Have a driver switch at a couple of the more boring races. During green flag each car must switch in another driver. Would make things interesting and you could see the difference in the skill of the drivers.
Would give younger drivers some exposure or let some of the retired guys come back for some short stints. The fans would go crazy.
Have a throw back series instead of Exfinity which is just an identical series of less powered vehicles.
1950's era for a couple of years then 1960's era muscle cars for a couple of years. Build them with up to date safety features.
Old school is where it's cool.

STOCK cars. Start with a factory unibody, engine block and tranny case. Set a fairly high weight minimum.
And make the drivers have cool names.

Time for F1 to add 2-3 more races in the states.
