Oops Nascar.  And we thought our little tiff in sprint car racing between HL and WoO was ruffling feathers...wow!  For those that missed it, texts have surfaced from NASCAR president Steve Phelps.  He made the comments "Unfortunately, most our fans are not exactly top readers."  It appeared Nascar had actually stopped the bleeding over the past 5 years and had leveled out with some decent crowds and some renewed interest.  Then Steve Phelps says "hold my beer!"  

 

They can't get out of their own way.

Last nascar race I watched was for larsons 1st championship, only reason I watched. Nascar was going downhill when covid hit and we all know how 2020 went, that sealed the deal for me watching. 

Off topic but I watched the vegas grand prix Saturday night since I had nothing better to do. 1st time I have watched F1 and that crap is horrible to watch. 

The worst sprint car race ever blows both nascar and f1 out of the water.

Obviously not a good look insulting your fanbase, but I've been to a couple of Nascar races and it's an accurate statement. Lol

It makes you wonder what demographic their trying to target anymore. IMO they lost touch with their fanbase a couple decades ago.

You are correct.  I have tried F1 multiple times, and I have friends who get up early on Sunday mornings to watch it.  I don't get it at all.  The F1 fans make fun of sprint cars and Nascar.  Nascar is FAR more exciting than F1, and neither of those 2 even hold a candle to sprint cars on their worst night just like you say.

Haven't watched a race since Noosegate, and I was down to only watching a handful of races each season at that.  I don't see myself ever watching it again no matter where it goes from here.   And I have no issues being a top reader....
