Personally I hope NASCAR goes out of business. I can’t believe how the current administrators completely destroyed the most popular sport in America.

It is hard to believe the difference in the number fans in the stands over the past 5 years compared to 10-15 years ago. They appear to be hellbent on driving away even more fans. Any business that that alienates their customer base won’t last for long.
I recall hearing about Tony Stewart and a couple of others starting a new stock series awhile ago, maybe a couple of years. Haven’t really kept up so don’t know if that will happen. But it make you think that NASCAR pulling out of Eldora might have something to do with that.

They appear to be hard at work doing just that.
It's so bizarre to me. The folks they're trying to appeal to, or are bending over backwards to please, have always viewed NASCAR as a backwoods, hillbilly sport. Most of them may not even be sports fans at all, but especially not NASCAR, and no amount of appeasement or marketing will ever change that viewpoint.
We have a few generations of business managers who were brainwashed in their colleges with required courses of Corporate Social Responsibility, which is essentially a cover for teaching Woke-ism. These business managers have been taught that a bit of loss in revenue is ok for "the greater good" long term. In other words cr@pping on their customers and shareholders in the short term is ok to achieve the long term "social responsibility" objectives.
The only way they will correct their ways is if they had massive financial losses that has a huge impact on their doing business. Unfortunately, many fans can't manage without their product, so they are able to continue this behavior.
