I heard it was hard to keep the score, cars running under water and all. Talk about a lost racetrack, they are still looking for it I hear.

That’s why they call Dale southern Jesus, leading the search for Redneck Atlantis.

I heard one reason they no longer have the finale there was issues with water in the gas.
 
The big sponsors leaving the sport is a harsh signal about the penetration and growth value of NASCAR. This does not make me happy but if you count the companies dropping out vs those coming in it’s not looking great.

The question is where are they going? Is it a response to the sport or a shift in marketing to something besides team sports?

I was getting into the Chicago race hope enough fills the gap to keep it viable.
 
Is McDonald's leaving NASCAR? Aren't they still sponsoring bubba? Seems they just aren't sponsoring Chicago street race which is probably in it's last year of existence so it's no big deal.
 
If they are just bailing on something that is already cancelled then yes not ad big a deal.

NASCAR doesn't know what it is or what it wants to be. Low tech/driver focused? Oh hey SMT. Stock car? Chevy doesn't even have anything that pretends to be stock in the series. More stock car.....My stock vehicle has a fuel gauge and tire pressure sensors......Oval series? Yeah, but let's throw a bunch of road courses in there.....It goes on and on....Those of us who have fallen in love with the sport years ago, stick around waiting to see what NASCAR wants to be.....those who are taking a peek, are confused and head to Indy Car and/or F1. To your question....I think that sponsors are largely those taking a peek.....
 
I'm damned if I'm starting a '2026 Schedule' thread before the 2025 season starts. For those of you filling in your Bingo cards, here's the opening number:

Along with the sellout announcement, the World Center of Racing has also released the date for next year’s DAYTONA 500, which will take place on Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026.
