I thought the race was very entertaining but the ratings are no surprise. They've lost Junior, Gordon, Kenseth, Edwards and Stewart. By the end most of the recognizable vets were already out of the race. They've made the racing so poo poo for so long it's really not a surprise people stopped giving them a chance.

TV ratings don't really matter that much. The stands were full and the Networks will continue to pay massive $$$ for content.

A company headquartered in Mooresville that's been in NASCAR as a full time sponsor since 1995 and even used to have the naming rights to a track is completely walking away from the sport. This is pretty drat bad.

Home Depot scaled way back and it didn't hurt them at all. Not to mention that it costs way too much money sponsor a car.

And 38th!

Remember when NASCAR races had more than 38 cars? :smith:

It didn't cost 20 million to sponsor a car back then.

The sport is in critical condition if they're looking to sell. As bad as it is from the outside, they wouldn't be looking to sell if they saw a path to turning it around. The books must be grim.


I think this is much more of a "the third generation sells out after not running the business very well." They will get a few billion for it.

NASCAR absolutely can survive, it's just a matter of whoever's running it making the right decisions.

NASCAR will be fine. As marginal fans leave there will be less money in the sport. Not the end of the world.

the jig is up when the TV money fountain gets turned off and suddenly NASCAR isn't getting billions to put 34,000 asses in seats

It remains to be see if the next contract is the one where this happens. It seems like the Networks just can't help themselves.

NASCAR driver posts something on Twitter that actually reflects his opinion, fans attack driver, and then complain that drivers are corporate drones.

I don't understand why they couldn't inspect before quals then just impound the cars, but whatever.

The penalties are not severe enough to discourage cheating, so I don't think it really matters. The teams will push it to the limit knowing that NASCAR won't be a team for the race. Qualifying doesn't really matter anymore, so this is what we get.

Here's something which sounds nice but ultimately means dick in terms of Buschwacking:

Is this a money thing? Will owners running cup drivers lose out on some prize money?
