NASCAR died with Dale Sr and Bill France. Indy Car, IMSA, Rolex, and F1 are all better products.

F1 being a better product is debatable right now, at least in terms of being a product where there is more competition between all of the cars. Mercedes owns F1 right now.

I’ll say this, they’ve largely ruined superspeedway racing because the cars are so aero dependent. They end up running single file because getting out of line sends you straight to the back and the cars are too aero tight to make big moves.

This play by play mother fricker on NBC is horrible, but Dale Jr and Letarte are great and Burton ain’t bad.

A big problem they have is there’s just not a lot of sizzle with the drivers. There’s a handful that are likable, but the vast majority of them are pussies, yankees, or just flat out boring.

The biggest problem is the cars cost too much to build now. Combine that with noone with a pair left in the sport and this is the product you get. No one taking chances and drivers are too nice to each other.
It's freaking boring.

and NASCAR now has made winning a single race confusing.


They did that because people like you bitched about the previous way and the way before that and the way before that.......I’m sensing a trend here

Cookie cutter cars. The only distinction is the block and the brand sticker.

Losing Bill France was a big hit. He brought NASCAR to its prime. Then Brian France took over and tried to manipulate outcomes. That was the beginning of the end for NASCAR.

Dale Sr was a giant but he was not the reason for NASCAR's current failures.

NBC has sucked covering most sports for years. I hope they they lose all their TV rights someday.

Are there any good rivalries anymore? It used to be there were always drivers that you loved or hated.

NASCAR closed down when Gordon retired

No it go better.
The best thing Jeff Gordon did for NASCAR was hire Jimmie Johnson.

Kurt's crew had the same weather apps everyone else did, it was stupid to pit there and he wasn't the only one that did it.
