Just for kicks. What do you think NASCAR is going to look like 10 years from? What owners do you think will be out of the sport? What do you think the cars will be like? Who will be the top drivers and who has retired?
 
More road course on the schedule.

Talladega night race? (hopefully)
 
Kyle larson, Chase Elliott, and erik jones will be stars. Nascar will be a niche sport
 
If Brian hasn't been guillotined I will be disappointed.

I only have one more request, once Brian has lost power to a new hierarchy, they will need to allow trophy queens.

As Brian is ushered to the guillotine and spat upon countless times, he needs to see one of those new hawt trophy queens on stage and understand it is a different world now that he no longer controls. One day even the Taliban will have to give up their Hijabs.

Lord only knows but here's my guess:

Some more "desperate attempts" for action such as Cup dirt race(s), more road courses, and maybe a rule that limits length of green flag runs. Brian France builds a Superspeedway. Much more ticket variety at tracks: Standing room on backstretch for $20, Luxury box with bar $300. 30-40 cars each race in Cup, 20-30 in Nationwide and Trucks. NASCAR gives up and sells or disbands K&N and Whelen tours. Hometracks program will still exist, but just weekly short track racing. Tracks begin to enter 21st century and become more like baseball/football stadiums with stadium seating, varied food options, more luxury boxes, and a few regional transit options. The Earnhardt dynasty ends and Nascar tries to find a new poster child.
 
After the 10 year contracts with Fox.com and NBC.com are up Fox.com will resign for another 10 years, and NBC.com will once again be out bid by ESPN.com. Everyone will rejoice, because of how ****** the Nascar online coverage has been. Too many ad pop ups fans will say!! ESPN.com says that there will be a free app to watch Nascar races on, but the free app will have ads. However! if you kindly pay a small fee of $999 a month you can get the premium app that only has half the ads the free one does!!
 
I wonder if Nascar has gotton away from hiring it's management from within the sport . Used to be , guys like Steve Letarte and Chad Knaus might be expected to end their careers in the Nascar front office . Nascar seems to be headed away from that and that is not good for the sport IMO.
 
Judging by what Brian France has done to the sport over the last 10 years, I shudder to think what he'll do over the next 10.
 
Bobby Labonte will still be driving. Morgan Sheppard will still be trying to make the field, and Tony Stewart will still be complaining about those young punks that can't drive.
 
I bet the Chase format will have changed at least two more times over the next 10 years.
 
NASCAR ratings improve modestly with FOX and NBC.

Desperate to race in the thriving Seattle sports market, NASCAR adds a Nationwide or Truck date at Evergreen Speedway.

Fueled by the success of Kyle Larson, Kenzie Ruston and Bubba Wallace, NASCAR racing becomes more diverse attracting more fans from new demographics and a larger overall fanbase.

Meanwhile, back in reality-land. :p
 
Jimmie Johnson will be retired as a 10 time champ. Top 10 drivers will be ...Brad K, Logano, Larson, Dillon Boys, Kyle, Denny, Chase, Erik jones, Ryan Blaney.
