I Saw this video recently and really didn't think much <yawn> but towards the end is the current state of affairs which just popped up in today's newspaper.
Nothing new to me after learning about Rolex24hr teams, Daytona Motor Group (DMG) Ponzi Scheme's and rip off's (CNBC American Greed) of the past decade or so.

Latest comment about ISC's One Daytona in reference to the corporations 45 Million Dollar tax break.
"Have you been to Daytona One lately to see what your 45 million in incentives has gotten you? So deserted a race could be run at the round about."

:rolleyes:
 
I saw about 10 minutes of the race at Indy yesterday. It looked like the concession and custodial people were in the stands. And no one else. Ghost town. How can they keep going?

As a further note on their self destructive tendencies, they announced today that they will no longer accept ads for firearms. Having decided to be "Politically Correct", how long will it be till all of the Nascar racers will be required to run electric cars?

Who wants to watch cars drive in circles? They arent even real cars anymore. Now make it more like a road rally and you may attract more car people.
 
Hell, just make it real cars and the interest will go up.
Body in white, spec cage built in, stock body panels. Lights, wipers, and rain tires we are racing in the wet.
All 3 have a front engine rear drive car body, all 3 have a supercharged fuel injected V8.
Make them run stock brakes and run on pump premium gasoline. That will slow them enough to make the insurance assholes happy and make people pay attention at the same time. Go back to treating the drivers like dirt, instead of superstars just because they made the show. Put some grit back in it. Any track with current lap times of over 50 seconds is out. In this day and age of smart phones nobody wants to wait a while damn minute for those idiots to come back around.
 
The recent Darlington race was called a sellout. Looked like it to. I got a chuckle out of that. Darlington and Rockingham are about 50 miles apart and both held two races a season way back in the early 90's which were usually all sellout's. Then came the expansion and cookie cutter 1 1/2 mile tracks out west. Where did the dates for those come from....? One from Darlington and close Rockingham. This was the beginning of the end for NASCAR. The fans are in the SE. Most others were just curious and given the boring racing on the "cookie cutters", the fan base desolved.
Darlington regained it's spring race and is doing well even though it has been repaved with variable banking which pretty much tamed the "Lady in black" and made the Darlington stripe a thing of the past. The true fans are back though.

Not so with Bristol. Repaved twice in recent years with variable banking to make it a two groove track instead of "bump and run" has about ruined the racing there.

The two best tracks now are Darlington and Talladega..... HA, I can here the groans now....! Guys, you have to be there, TV doesn't capture it. A pack of cars going by 3 wide and 8 deep at 190 MPH, lap after lap with a different leader each lap is something that cannot be described. Talladega still holds the record for lead changes in a race, I think it's 75, and they are only counted at the start/finish. There are normally many more during the 2.66 mile lap.
I saw a race there that the winner led only one lap, the last one. And he took the lead between the tri oval and the S/F line. And he was a rookie. Amazing.!
Every track west of the Mississippi, except perhaps Phoenix, should be bull dozed IMHO.
 
The gonad less millennial drivers need to go back to their mommies to. Hell, they can't even complete a race without breaking it up in segments.
Mark Martin, who hated Talladega, once won a green flag to checker race there, no caution. Most of the drivers had to be lifted out of their cars that day.

Are any of the millennial drivers taller than 4'8"???

The Monster Energy girls are taller than most of the millenial drivers!!!
 
Yea 'Stage Racing', last time I channel surfed to a Nascrap race was Watkins Glen and when they announced that the first stage was complete I said WTF! Are they doing this for all races now? Thought it was only for the Super Speedway races.

Shows you how out of tune I am... :confused: :rolleyes:

Millennial's... LOL, just got reminded about them watching the Laidlaws HD vBlog on the new Harley Electric bike, Many mention's of what Millennial's want and the new Harley's, then when that was done in the suggested videos something came up about Gen X's ruining Harley, I closed the browser then. heh.
 
He looks like he's driving to church on Sunday, and she 's squeezing her butt checks together to keep her undies clean.

Not sure how familiar you are overseas with this driver, Walter Röhrl, one of the best Rallye Drivers in the world, he competed once at Pikes Peak with Audi and won I think and in the IMSA race series around 1989.

At 70 now he still drives circles around almost everyone I guess.
