Well in their defense… they need to appeal to a newer audience as the older audience dwindles.
Leigh Diffey was on door bumper clear in 24 (I think) and was asked whether he caters his commentary towards veteran fans or newer fans.
His answer was interesting. “I focus on the newer fan. The older fans that have been watching for 20 years will still watch. It’s my job to make this easier for the newer fan to digest. The older fans may know more than I do, and I’m ok with that.”
Edit: I added the episode of DBC. About 12:50-13 minutes in

Hopefully he doesn’t wreck out early like he did at Daytona back in February.

I only watched the last two laps so I don’t know how Heim was racing the 77 the whole race to judge this incident. Maybe Heim was being a little bit too aggressive there, but then again it’s Martinsville on the last lap. Everyone knows how these races normally play out in the final laps.
Is Heim trying to imitate Bryan Kohberger? You know the guy that posted this selfie hours after butchering 4 Idaho college students in 2022. I’m only being sarcastic, but it’s the first thing I thought.

Now I just feel like I’m talked to like they’re trying to sell me on a new sport, but it’s actually been around 75 years.
They talk to every viewer like it's the first time they've ever watched a race.

Because those that have been watching for years are likely to continue watching. The idea is to hook new viewers.

They’ve lost 75% of fans from 10-15 years ago. So no, they are not likely to continue.
NOAP booth does a great job of excitement and knowledge without offending long time viewers.

Its BS that Nascar uses metric to decide starting spots when practice/qualifying rained out. Should start chase drivers by playoff points first then non chasers by their points. It really mucks things up and allows Logano to steal great starting spots when passing is hard these days.

Chevrolet and Ford got much better at 1.5 mile tracks and have pretty much caught up with Toyota.

What’s the demographics of those viewers that have left?
Posted on 9/28/26 at 11:26 am to MikeHoncho47
Only Hamlin, Bell, and Logano within one race of the lead (76 pts).

Because Hamlin and Larson have had no bad weeks thus far and accumulated stage points like no other. It’ll soon be a two or three car breakaway from everyone else.

For those who haven’t heard, Gordon Johncock who had some good NASCAR runs … finished fourth at Charlotte one time in Junior Johnson’s car … and won two Indy 500s, the worst one ever held and one of the best ones ever held, died today at 90.
He was like Tim Richmond, he didn’t know a lug nut from a rear view mirror but he could drive the friggin’ wheels off a race car.
I guess Foyt and Rutherford and Mario are the only ones left from that era of Indy to NASCAR crossover.
