Noosecar’s gamble on woke culture is yielding returns

Good. That whole scam with Bubba Wallace should ruin them

Rick Hendrick Incorporated. Bill France would have never let this happen.

I posted that article.

NASCAR fricked up about 15 years ago when they abandoned their core audience trying to go national. That backfired bigly and their core audience never came back.

They have been shitting on their core fans for years.

Yikes.

Do the Chinese watch NASCAR?

NASCAR is a southern regional sport. It’s core fans are very blue collar, working class people. People from small towns that have a local dirt track kind of folks, stock car racing is cheap and grass roots. In the 90’s when it hit its peak, nascar did everything possible to run off those fans and replace them with upper middle class people with megabucks to spend. Then Dale Earnhardt died at Daytona. Shortly thereafter, Adam Petty also died. It started a downward spiral that they can’t stop. Instead of cultivating new cult like superstars, they decided to get politically correct. They started moving races to places that didn’t have fans and cancelling races at traditional tracks. Fans left in droves.

Then, Bubba Wallace happened. The funny part is that he isn’t their first black driver. If you go to local tracks, there are plenty of black drivers out there. The BW noose basically called every nascar fan a racist if they dare disagree. That was the death blow to the sport.

I’ll never go back, I’d like to see it fail and be replaced with a true grass roots league that focuses on smaller venues and non-corporate teams. Like it was when I grew up.
