As if NASCAR didn't already have major issues, this article comes out that NASCAR and the France Family are at an impasse with the Owners and Drivers of the Sport to the point the owners have hired a top Anti-Trust Lawyer to advise them. Since Dale Earnhardt Sr. died, my interest in NASCAR has steadily faded, however, I will be watching later today as the weather has cleared and the race should start on time. You had to think sooner or later that the iron fist rule of the France Family over NASCAR would be challenged, and it appears that day has come.

Postponed by rain.

F1, IMSA, WRC and others don’t do that. They race in the rain.

NASCAR is the worst form of racing. That’s why attendance is declining.

Nothing says “Stock car” like a RWD V8 Toyota Camry.

NASCAR took a gut-punch when the fans booed Michelle Obama and Jill Biden when they appeared at a race at Homestead, FL in 2011. Barack Obama retaliated by canceling military flyovers at NASCAR events.

After the Bubba Wallace incident at the garage, NASCAR has been reaching out to black audiences by encouraging black-owned team owners and black musicians performing at races. However, there have been no more black drivers competing at the Cup level besides Wallace.

They'll race for 30-40 minutes full bore then pit for 10 hours to recharge. That will bring in the crowds. OTH, the wrecks will be outstanding and will burn for days!

The fact that the race leader could spontaneously combust at any moment will make it exciting.

The owners of NOOSECAR have been determined to promote their "sports entertainment" to television zombies for decades. It's about promoting NBC and movies under the NBC/Comcast umbrella. They want to replace stock car racing fans with brain-dead consumers through television.

Here's just a list of celebutard grand marshalls and starters for just the Daytona 500 going back to the 1980s. (not even going into how many celebutards pimped their NBC/Comcast shows at other NOOSECAR races). Most of them are complete leftists and have no connection to an race car at all. All that matters is that they shill for NBC/Comcast.

Even before NOOSECAR fueled the Bubba "Smollett" Wallace noose hoax in 2020 for their globalist masters, they had Michelle Obama and Jill Biden as grand marshals in 2011. The Propaganda Media lied about the booing, just like the lied about the "Let's Go Brandon" chants.

They already ruined the races with “stages” and the inevitable demolition derby in the final laps.

I stopped taking NASCAR seriously awhile ago.

Whenever I feel the need to watch people drive in left-hand circles for three hours, I fire up my tractor and go cut hay until the urge passes.

At least you are doing something useful. I use to be a
faithful fan but that has been gone for several years.

[HonkyTonkMan]

NASCAR had a generational fan base, legacy drivers, teams, and fans across the country. Big investments, tradition, etc. and they completely turned their back on the people.

It will never come back.
