NASCARs DEI push didn’t help them any with their fans either.
But they seem to have convinced themselves fans lost interest in the sport after the popular drivers of the early 2000’s retired. I haven’t seen an explanation about why that didn’t happen after greats like Junior Johnson, Richard Petty, and more retired.
Living 80 miles from Daytona I was heavy into Nascar from the 80s into the mid 90s.
When they let toyota in and for several other reasons I lost interest......glad I enjoyed it before it went woke and started kissing the ass of a certain ethnicity.
When it changed to NASCARDEI I’d had enough. I know several guys who turned it off when Dale Earnhart died but I felt there was something off when they put that skateboard spoiler on the Car of Tomorrow. NASCAR couldn’t figure out why the cars were wrecking like they never had when it was obvious the ridiculous wing on the back was the whole problem.
