I used to follow Nascar regularly but have moved to Formula 1 and occasionally NHRA.
I watched a bit yesterday. Most of the grandstands were closed and the stands down the main straightaway looked less than full. I noticed the cameras were making it hard to get a good look at the stands.
Has Nascar lost its mojo? I got bored of it because too many cars and too many crashes - causing races to go on forever. Poll position doesn’t seem to mean anything (unlike F1 where it means everything).
Jumped the shark?
They went full on woke and blm- Started berating their fans over issues like 2n’d amendment- and of course Bubba did the whole hoax noose thing then berated his fans because they called him out on it- Dale Jr and ilk all got behind Bubba and promoted him like crazy- basically shoving him in our faces for not believing his lie about a garage door pull rope-
Many years ago.
One of the telling signs was the use of 'debris cautions' which were thrown whenever the leaders got too far ahead of the competition.
