ping
I’m surprised Dale is returning to racing. Don’t know how much I will be posting on these threads as I’ll turn 84 in a couple of months and have not joined the League this season but Keep me on the ping list...
Great article in last Thursdays Wall Street Journal, front page in fact, about the state of NASCAR these days. TV viewership down almost 50% from a few years ago. Attendance at tracks dramatically down also. The article went in-depth about the France family’s history in the sport and strongly insinuated the France family was the problem. They had a quote from Richard Petty complaining that lack of leadership at the top was sorely lacking. Mentioned Monster Energys sponsorship at 20M per year and NASCAR had wanted much much more but couldn’t sell the name. After 10 years on the FR league I decided to hang it up this year. Rule changes have gotten to be beyond ridiculous and the 3-tiered points system for each race was the straw that broke this dogs back. I’ll watch a few races but my excitement and commitment to NASCAR is down the ‘tubes. Err, sorry ‘bender.
