NHRA outdrew Nascar. Wow has Nascar fallen. They lost another big chunk of fans going to Prime mid season who never came back. There really isn’t that many fans left.

I was told the new age demo they chase is savvy and able to find sports with no problem.

What's really sad is that the Prime slot of races had way better production and viewing value than either anything FOX and NBC has put out in 20 years of covering the sport and only prime viewers got to see it.

It was the first time in years that I watched coverage that didn't feel like it was trying to talk down to the fans or dazzle them with BS. Last time coverage was that good was the days of NASCAR on TNN

This shows network can work. Also side note expect F1 to go Apple so that will kill off US market for them

I don’t know about that. I think that’s one of the few live sports to streaming moves that will actually work. Most American F1 fans are young, tech oriented people more into streaming than network tv.

Anyway, these are pathetic numbers for NASCAR. Guessing they never thought they’d be outdone by NHRA, a sport that used to be tape delayed on ESPN2.

I disagree on F1/Apple. There are quite a few F1 watchers who also watch Nascar/Indycar. Look at the losses Nascar had once they went to Prime. Those same losses are fans who will watch F1. People are starting to worn out from all these streaming apps who are raising prices where old cable would be cheaper. In a way cable was ahead of its time and bundled sports as one stop shopping at discount.

The only reason streaming got a foothold was because it was new and free or cheap to start. But now all are raising prices and people are tired of having so many different accounts plus costs are now higher than cable. And people are starting to opt out of streaming costs.

So you end up with them losing viewers. And its not only due to bad product. Nascsr is a bad product right now combined with going to 5-6 races on Prime no one wanted to pay more. And F1 will have the same result. F1 has been gaining US viewers because ESPN has it and with zero commercials during races. Apple is going to lose viewers plus have ads. Double whammy. Any gain in an age demo (like Prime/Nascar) will see a much bigger loss overall.

These sports have sold out to these carriers and in the end will lose long time viewers plus the new younger demo is not as loyal and won’t hang around either. Net loss

I’d like to thank whoever greenlit the decision to air a truck race on a Friday afternoon at 3 pm on big Fox. Fox 8 decided to air a judge Judy rerun marathon instead. Another dumb decision involving nascar.

Wow. It's comical.

ETA. NASCAR decision-making borders on the autistic

The ending of this race is going to be like the ending of that stage 2 isn't it?

So freaking boring.

Last lap disaster for Hendricks. Byron and Larson were gonna finish top 5 and one may have won the race. As far as Byron goes he was a victim but for Larson, you have to figure there would be overtime at Talledega with fuel strategy.

NASCAR San Diego course revealed

3.4 miles is a bit long. Looks fast and challenging. Don’t see the passing opportunities Chicago had though.
