NASCAR - Television Ratings Thread

As far as racing in the USA goes NASCAR is king and has been for some time. There are numerous reasons for its decline in popularity but in my opinion the biggest reason is not the fault of Nascar

It's a common topic for some, there are thousands of reasons they come up with. Most of em just like to argue, got to feed them once in a while.:p:D

Well here are 3 good reasons:
1. No connection between cars on the track and ones the consumer actually purchases.
2. Up until about a year ago, terrible racing.
3. Too many gimmicks and rules changed in the past 5 years.
I could list probably 7 more, but those are the most important.
 
Yes, the races to continue on, with lower ratings, fewer fans in the stands, rarely a sell-out, and an aging fanbase. That's really something to cheer about! Woo-who! Before you point it out, I will concede that NASCAR is beating the home shopping style networks in viewership.
 
^ 7 posts since yesterday morning.

That's a lot of interest in something that no-one is apparently interested in anymore.
 
I don't have a viewership problem, I pointed out the facts and that I will be watching the number one motorsport event in the U.S. next weekend and enjoying it immensely, hope to catch the highlights of the WoO races on the utube later.

I believe the biggest reason is the change in the car culture and I’m guessing you know what I mean by that. Also we have changed the way we watch things like in NFL Redzone and condensed versions of other goings on.

Car culture is a good one, but identity would be better. NASCAR threw away the way we identify the cars, if younger fans and potential fans could identify a Camaro, Mustang, and Camary from each other without the decals on the cars, then we'd have something.;)

1. If that was the case NO racing series would be successful
2. Racing is better then ever unless you have an agenda and an axe to grind
3.Rules change EVERY year in racing no matter what level

Gimmicks change too huh? Racing was good, but won't be next year. If racing is better than ever why change it smart guy?

I know there used to be huge manufacturer rivalries and they were great for the sport. I know there still are some of those fans left but not a ton.

You totally contradict your racing is great premise, if it is so great why is NASCAR changing the rules...again?

Ok, I did, I asked you a question which as usual you deflected, which tells me you either don't have answer for it or you just go along with everything Nascar says or does no matter what the consequences.

No...makes no sense as far as racing goes. Individual car yes you change to beat the other guy. Why make a change to the package if said package is producing good racing there Apologist?
