At some point NASCAR seemed to cross that fine line between a competition and a staged event. Your timeline sounds about right.

That was the beginning of the end. Loss of the June-yarrr fans is the real end. No one cares about the new drivers and, as you point out, real competition ended years ago. This is IMSA’s chance to turn NASCAR fans into auto racing fans again.

When they made it a celebrity focus on the drivers and not the manufacturers - that was the beginning of the end. When they took the cigarette lighters out of the cars - it was over. It's all about candy and soda pop and crap.

Bring back the Oldsmobile's, the Dodge's - push rods. . . .
