They did it to themselves:
1. Made racing the most complicated they possibly could almost to where you won if you lost.
2. Alienated their fan base and derided them.
3. Embraced wokism bs.
Their only gift was Brandon....
“1.Made racing the most complicated they possibly could”
Stages......who in the hell thought up that bright idea? Stopping a race several times during the race and starting it again.
WTF?
My last in person was the 1st night time race at Daytona just so I could say I was there.
$95 dollar ticket to reserve a place to stand for 3 hours and a $20 parking spot in a field at least a mile from my “seat”.
That was it for me.
The Brandon gift is from the few remaining fans. It is not from NASCAR!
THe beginning of the end, or end of the beginning was when they took the second race away from Atlanta Motor Speedway for somewhere in Vegas or Arizona or some other place where no one gives a crap about NASCAR.
