NASCAR has taken a big hit in the past years with ratings. I can’t figure it out except that people are not watching it anymore.
The "Car of Tomorrow" and "The Young Guns," that's why. The only guy left who I care about is Mark Martin. Bring back the days of Sterling Marlin, Dale Sr., Rusty Wallace, Harry Gant, Dick Trickle, Richard Petty, the Allison brothers and DW. These slick kids have no personalities and the cars are a joke.
The sports most popular driver, #88, is laying an egg...and yes, the car of tomorrow, well....
But the biggest problem is their push a few years back to make NASCAR popular among the hollywood devotes...too much commercialism and showmanship...chasing the old-time southern fans away, those who hate PC anything and liked the spit, swearing, smash-em-up's the way it used to be are getting bored, if not completely turned off.
