NASCAR is finally getting back on the right track. The rating are slightly improving. The boardroom is finally addressing the pink elephant(mile and half’s), and in the next couple years a tv contract that will either make or break the sport will come up for negotiations. They cannot let Brian...

NASCAR has three huge problems to overcome.1. Aero has killed the racing at 1+ mile tracks. 2. They’re heavily invested in 1.5 mile tracks, to the point walking away from them will pretty much kill the sport and anyone that has anything invested in it. 3. Television companies way overpaid for a...

None of the 30 some drivers know the importance, or even know how, to put on a show, and quite frankly, I won’t shed a tear when any of them announce their retirement.

We went from zoomed out, 3 go to cameras, sparely used in car shots during the 4:3 480i era of broadcasting, and they somehow made it worse. There are more pixels and a wide screen, and everyone has at least a 50 incher in their living rooms, you can easily fit 10 cars on the screen and still be...

JJ and Brian were known to be ‘fishing buddies’.

I’m one of the biggest Earnhardt fan out there, and I still put an asterisk beside his 2004 win. The car suddenly developed 50 more hp and to this day the commentators are still not fully sold on side drafting being a real thing. And neither do I, since I’ve yet to witness anyone else pull off...

I swear if they just ride around until the final lap before 2nd place attempts a half assed zig zag, I’m done with this sport forever. I don’t want a demolition derby, but if someone attempts a second line, half of the ******** field better go with him. Lagano

Glad I wasn’t there, that was the type of farce that leaves a sour taste. 1.

My ears get murdered either way. Dw is an assclown, and burton is hopped up on every upper known to man, plus his voice is grating. Only thing that makes fox slightly better, Dw sort of blends into the background now that a Gordon is around.

The cars no longer have the untamed horsepower that made the short tracks and road courses fun. And the aero ruined the triovals. No sane individual wants a concussion or die racing, and would rather ***** foot around Daytona and talladega and move on, which has turned what was once 4 thrilling...

Daytona will be flat to 3% gain thanks to zero competition this year versus last year’s olympics. The rest of fox’s races will average 5% declines. NBC will continue its double digit dips. Unless the new package completely revolutionizes the intermediates.

Annual trip to speedweeks and Phoenix spring race. Gives us an excuse to escape winter, makes it go by faster.

NASCAR: we’re building more triovals. Me: those races sort of suck. NASCAR: we’re turning ovals into triovals. Me: wait, why the hell are you doing this? NASCAR: we’re going to get rid of several races at the unique tracks and just overload the schedule with cookie cutters, until nearly 3...

But the tv coverage is responsible for most of the decline. Nobody is finding entertainment in poor camera work, being screamed at by 3 morons who forgot to take their Ritalin, total lack of marketing, and burying races on a 2nd or 3rd tier sports network. About the only thing the tv networks...

Future headline if they go down this rabbit hole: NASCAR teams found guilty of colluding, bankruptcies imminent, nascar to liquidate.

If you shorten the season, then fox is in a position to buy the whole season. Fox is currently hungry for sports content, they even overpaid to exclusively air premiere championship boxing. Who until now, use to split their fights between showtime/cbs, nbc sports, and fox.

6 sounds like a good number, not really passing, not quite failing. Enjoyed Daytona, but the rest of the spring races just sucked, with talladega and martinsville being the absolute worst races I’ve ever seen at those tracks. After Sonoma, it improved a bit, Chicago had one of their better...

My prediction, nascars been told by the networks that they will only bid on the cup races, leaving xfinity, the trucks, practice, and qualifying without a tv telecast. So this service will be the exclusive source for whatever is left after the big tv revenue disappears.

The nfl is the shortest of the professional sports, and I would argue it is the sole reason it is the most popular. Not only is the nhl and nba regular season too long, but their post seasons are excruciating at nearly 3 months. Simply put, once the twins, timberwolves and wild have been...

Barring insurmountable adversity, 9, 14, 22, 10. The 4 wins Phoenix, the 18 wins Texas, and the 41 wins martinsville. The storyline will come down to the 78 barely edging chase.
