Did anyone Consider this:

NBC's Coverage of NASCAR sucks, and BIG TIME.
Half of the NBC covered races are on cable, and well alot of nascar fans are poor white folks like myself, who have to choose between cable TV and the internet. So we miss all the cable TV races on TNT.

NBC's coverage crew isnt near as good as the FOX crew, that covers the beginning of the season.

There is a reason the ratings are down, and it has little to nothing to do with "The Flag of the Army of Northern Virgina" flying in the infield.

Personally I like nascar for the following reasons.

1)Its the last all American Sport
2)Its not Politically Correct, there is no affirmative action going on. If a non white american has the gumption to get involved in racing as a driver, there is nothing stopping them as far as I know. It wouldnt offend me at all if there were minority drivers as long as they are US citizens.

I dont watch indie league because I dont want to watch brazilians and frenchies drive around an american track.

Personally I think the reason you dont see minority drivers is most american minorities are busy Dominating Football, Basketball, and Baseball.

And Finally, no offence to minorities intended, but what the heck is wrong with having a majority population dominated sport?

Still, NASCAR remains highly popular. It still gets sizable television numbers that all but the NFL would kill for. The circuit is still awash in sponsorship and endorsement money and continues to attract the best drivers from other racing leagues.

Most importantly, it still is exponentially bigger than it was a decade ago, when it experienced a monumental surge in popularity. In no way is it a business in trouble.

But in terms of sustained growth, the television numbers at least suggest that the boom period is over.

Bottom line - NASCAR is as popular as it ever was, and 10 times more popular than it used to be, without selling out to the PC gods.
