^Wow, I want some of what you're on!

^Crossovers are just a fad that will fade away faster than the mini-van boom of the late 90s/early 2000s.

Driver personality should be a distant 3rd on the list of reasons to watch racing. No amount of advertising is going to change how fans truly relate to a particular driver anyway. Should Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin's sponsors force them to make more public appearances? Probably, but at the end...

^More like the Richmond spring race...Darlington is a fan favorite again.

Exactly...danger and speed are what NASCAR was built on. Now what do you have? Safety first, then (corporate) team work.

They still need another $5 million from the state for structural improvements before the notion of a NASCAR event can even be entertained, but sounds like it's going to happen.

Tyler Reddick says the NextGen car needs at least 1,000 HP to make a noticeable difference from the current engine limitations.

It has more to do with the decline in NASCAR's popularity overall. Kyle Busch and Chase Elliott are close to "household names" and Ryan Blaney isn't far behind, but the complete corporatization of the sport will never allow driver popularity to return to the glory days of the '70s-early 2000's.

Yup, Pocono doesn't even allow fans with a Pit Pass to walk the length of pit road anymore.

^It could have been a lot worse with only 5 streaming races on a platform most people already have. I'm sure the FOX/NBC races will be streamed on the Fox Sports and Peacock apps.

Only 9 races on traditional broadcast TV...kinda sad!

If the TV rating for the last race isn't significantly higher than the average race, what's the point of making a joke of the points system with a single final 4 event? Cut the playoff field back to 12 and make the last round 4 races.

Imagine how boring NASCAR would be these days without the playoff format. Vanilla drivers, spec cars, choked off engines...

No, but if NASCAR must have stages then make the length of each uniform from track to track (25%/25%/50%). The Coke 600 shouldn't have 4 stages.
