With M&M’s Mars leaving NASCAR many fans are wondering both “why?” and also “who’s next?” Over the last 10-15 years there have been many sponsors jumping ship from the sport as revenue and viewership have dipped lower and lower. So today I want to look more into this trend and see what is going on and why it may be worse or not as bad as many think it is. This is NASCAR’s mass sponsor exodus.
Reap what you sow, just saying.
good...
let noosecar choke...
NASCAR ceased to be on February 18th 2001.
After that it was all just garbage.
Yep, “go woke” and I go somewhere else.
Well honestly, its pretty damn boring... go fast turn left....
Plus you set up a system where someone can actually NEVER ACTUALLY WIN A SINGLE RACE, BUT BE THE CHAMPION... WTF is with that?
Then get into the fact you have spit in the face of your core demographic for the last few years, and wonder why they are going elsewhere?
They did it to themselves:
1. Made racing the most complicated they possibly could almost to where you won if you lost.
2. Alienated their fan base and derided them.
3. Embraced wokism bs.
Their only gift was Brandon....
Was a long time NASCAR viewer, but stopped a number of years ago. Many reasons including getting rid of short tracks, getting rid of traditional tracks, adding generic 1.5 mile ovals that are boring and all the same, NASCAR wanting to get rid of its traditional fans and replace us with “more desirable” fans, drivers lost personality and became corporate. So, I moved on, glad i did, no interest in returning.
What a cry baby
Intense boredom, with the added attraction of permanent hearing loss.
Hard to believe, but 25-30 yrs. ago NASCAR was the #1 spectator sport in the US.
Dale Earnhart was a master of the “Hit-to Pass” style of racing, and that is what led directly to his demise.
The number of folks he put into the wall, he was tempting fate, and one day fate said “All-righty then.”
Stopped following when they dumped the WINSTON Cup.
Nascar still has fans?
I thought they all left when I did after they let toyota in
I’ve never made any sense of the “chase” format or whatever they call it.
It’s only slightly more entertaining than curling.
uh,….the ‘cars’ are just plastic replicas of real cars complete with headlight stickers?
BLM and Antifa now have billions in corporate donations. Let BLM sponsor NASCAR.
