NASCAR is in a death spiral, right?

Nah, it's going to become a PGA level sport where core people watch, but the heights of the early 2000's are gone forever. - Will Hunting Jul 28, 10:39 12
- The ad agency for Bristol says they really struggle these days. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jul 28, 10:55 5
  - We went to the night race 2 years in a row... so fun camping out there, but haven't been back in a while. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 28, 11:08
  - Yeah, it's contracting like crazy...and it's made worse by the leadership's desire to tinker...old fans...they don't want the creative scoring - Will Hunting Jul 28, 10:57 3
    - someone at the radio station was telling me that the Brickyard is moving to Sept. -- nm - Remlik Jul 28, 11:02 2
      - It'd make a great Chase race. -- nm - budice Jul 28, 11:06 1
        
        I dunno -- it's a basic garbage race. Those cars don't move around there very well. - Will Hunting Jul 28, 11:12
- Out of touch I agree, kinda stuck in the past reliving former glory. They do have a talented group of young drivers tho. -- nm - budice Jul 28, 10:53 4
  - There's also the timing of racing coinciding with NFL -- nm - budice Jul 28, 10:54 3
    - It's *always* coincided with the NFL. Anyone selling that excuse is calling you a moron. - Will Hunting Jul 28, 10:58 2
      - I literally still do not understand how the chase works -- nm - MDH Jul 28, 11:15 1
        
        Well, you start with 16 people, most wins and then most points among non-winners (how the hell points are assigned, I dunno anymore) - Will Hunting Jul 28, 11:24
- yup. -- nm - Remlik Jul 28, 10:49
Na. No death spiral. Target suffering in the wake of Amazon and Walmart -- nm - budice Jul 28, 10:34 1
- The stage racing gimmick seems played out to me. Make it two stages. Halfway, then finish. Qual can be two stages too. -- nm - budice Jul 28, 10:37
