Probably most of it. Maybe she can get a new sponsor. “Cheaters” TV show might be willing

Amazing how badly Nascar screwed up their actual main product, racing

Anyone could’ve expected that outcome with Penske.

I liked Brad especially in his early days at Penske because he was a true badass and villain with his driving style. His mojo somewhat mellowed out toward the end of Penske, but it completely went away when he went to the 6.

Still think this year is designed for Hamlin. Larson is doing good but Nascar wants Toyota and Hamlin to win. So we’ll see what happens.


I hope you are not serious with this

It’s why fights draw so much attention because the racing doesn’t. Drivers are angry with no passing ability and create wrecks knowing restarts are only chance to pass. And a conspiracy is Nascar pays backmarkers to wreck late to get late race drama

It’s crazy that this is the complete opposite in the NOAPS series.

My guess is as part owner Roush had a conduct clause built into the ownership contract.

True. Good racing still gets fights and arguments but its because there is more passing, blocking and moving around. So they argue.

Cup is only having spats because drivers sit in a car all race and can’t go anywhere which builds tension. You fight for 50 laps to pass someone blocking and they finally wreck em because its frustrating the car is so equal. Or just sit and stew if not willing to wreck.

Lots of you hated my post about how they set lineup for washouts. Well its true, they should line them up by points when qualifying is rained out. Its no different than points being reset the washout should be reset.

All these rainouts are set by metric of last few races so when you have 3 washouts in a row it screws over someone with bad metric. And because you can’t pass it compounds over races. It would be funner to have all chasers starting next to each other. Again, only for washouts.

Down 9% year over year. Loss of 136,000 more viewers. The bleeding continues. It will be too late before they realize how awful this cup car races on most tracks.

And had a perfect year to capitalize on F1 going to Apple. Many F1 US fans left that sport but Nascar turned a blind eye. Indycar had massive viewer increases though.

To add insult to audience injury, the WNBA beat Nascar. Its simply amazing how far Nascar has fallen.

No broadcast TV is stupid.
Big percentage of people do not have cable and no way to watch.
Sad but true
