Kinda of off subject, but I saw a few pictures of Nascar attendance since Newman's wreck caught my attention. For the avid fan, what the heck happened to the popularity and attendance of NASCAR over the past decade or so? Man I remember being glued to the TV in my youth for Nascar events

3 words... Brian “Fatass” France

ETA: Hopefully Jim France gets it headed back in the right direction.

Attendance is certainly down, but remember that this was a Monday.

Wasn’t a lot of people there today because it was Monday. Race was scheduled for Sunday and was “sold out.”

But in general, yes attendance is down at pretty much every track. Daytona, Talladega, and Darlington are the few tracks that are still drawing relatively good crowds... maybe martinsville and Richmond too.... one that’s been disappointing the last couple times I’ve paid attention was Bristol. That used to rival the Super Bowl as far as how hard it was to get a ticket.

Their stupid new playoff formula for determining championships which pretty much pissed on the first two thirds of the season. That and their sudden arrogance and overestimation of themselves in thinking they could go head to head versus the NFL in the fall and win the TV ratings battle.
