First half is the cars and what has been done to them....
--------------------

Second half is how the organization of racing was done.

The NASCAR world will go back. It’ll happen because money will dry upFrom sponsors and TV revenue. This will stop the super teams from pushing everyone out and stop all the engineering that’s destroyed the sport. It’s not good for the sport when only 5 teams are building chassis and hanging bodies. It’ll go back but it’s going to fall on hard times for it to happen.

These aren’t cookie cutter drivers. They’re actually nerds who were sheltered and groomed at an early age to talk act and represent themselves in the manner you see. The difference between now and then when it comes to drivers is simple. Before you had self made men driving Now you have mostly test tube puppets who never wanted for anything in their lives. That’s harsh but it’s true.

The personalities are gone, all the drivers now look good, talk good and are pretty much cookie cutter people. NASCAR forgot the people that made them, southerners, we made the sport, now all the driver remind me of Indy car drivers. I just really don’t care, if I heard today NASCAR went under and is gone, I’d say oh well, I loved NASCAR back in the 80’s and 90’s. Most of us just can’t identify with these super model drivers!

Though it's sad things are still the same and gets progressively worse. Hell instead of renovate millions on Phenoix how about restore and go back to a track like Rockingham, but oh well every top racing sport have been doing dumb things for years.

2005: Auto Club was running 2 races a season. BOTH WEEKENDS WERE A HIT. The night race was exciting because as temperatures dropped, the track conditions changed, and teams had to stay on their toes about it. Also, you know... it's SoCal... so a good portion of the race being after the sun goes down was nice for the fans. You know, not being roasted to death and whatnot... Have to eliminate a weekend from the track?

Here's an idea! Keep the shitty, boring daytime race that happens during the part of the year that NO ONE has time to attend... those that do? ...well, enjoy nothing happening for 3 hours... at a track that was considered one of the most exciting, fast, and competitive tracks in the 2 mile segment...

Went to Las Vegas this year, and it was boring. They all drive the same car, just different stickers and such. Get rid of these spec cars! Make them drive a body shape available to the public.

No splitter, no spoiler, no tacked on aero aides. Make them slow down and accelerate out of corners rather than just follow each other single file hoping someone will screw up. You will not need stage racing if you do this.

I am personally sick of the political correctness NASCAR is shoving down our throats. I'm all for women and minorities in NASCAR as long as they are the best at what they do. But we had Danica shoved down our throats and she sucked. Now we have Bubba Wallace who never won a Xfinity race moving up to drive a legendary car because he's half black. Not because he's good enough and earned it. I'm watching Xfinity this week and they are making a big deal out of a black/female tire changer. Are you telling me she is fast enough to be there or she got the job because of her gender and race?

In the interview, they sure didn't show her beating a man on the clock going over the wall. Daniel Suarez took over for Carl Edwards and deserves to be there, he earned it! He may turn out to be a great driver someday but he hasn't done much and Subway bailed after all American boy Carl Edwards left. Why? I think it's because people respect his ability, he won, but at the same time, how big is his American fan base?

Most of us are still pissed off we have Japanese cars, why would we get excited about a Mexican driver in today's world? When people walk into a Subway and see a cardboard picture of a Mexican standing where Carl use to stand doesn't have the same appeal. How about a Mexican Driver, in a Japanese car, with a Russian sponsor and German Engineer Crew Chief?

We could give them a all "hooter girls" pit crew! People wouldn't care how long his pit stops are, the longer the better! We have no hate, racial, or gender issues in NASCAR. Why does NASCAR insist on creating issues and pissing off people who have been life long fans in the name of Marxist Political Correctness? Talking about abandoning your base!

Great video I agree 100% however one thing you did not touch on is the change in our culture which has taken us away from the car culture which built NASCAR. I've posted about it in the past and have gotten a lot of blow back about it.

Let's be honest NASCAR has always had a redneck following as their mainstay. Brian France did not like that image even though they were the backbone of the sport. He has done everything possible to shake that image and has managed to lose a big portion of that fan base. Big mistake!

No I don't consider myself a redneck but I did love going to races and watching the rednecks and for sure enjoyed watching the rednecks race.

Again the culture has changed with social media and yes fans are more worldly than 30 years ago but we still like to have fun which could involve attending a race or two each year. Quit trying to be everything to everyone.
