Hendricks.
Actually the average Joe equates bent sheet metal with injuries.
No...I am the guy that thinks Hendricks should have ended up in jail, instead of getting a pardon by using graft and under the table payments to grease the skids for his dealerships.Is this the same clown who said Rick Hendrick faked his leukemia?
Hendrick
Hendrick...In 1997, Hendrick pleaded guilty to mail fraud.[6] In the 1980s, Honda automobiles were in high demand and Honda executives allegedly solicited bribes from dealers for larger product disbursements. Hendrick admitted to giving hundreds of thousands of dollars, BMW automobiles, and houses to American Honda Motor Company executives.[7] Hendrick was sentenced in December 1997 to a $250,000 fine, 12 months home confinement (instead of prison, due to his leukemia), three years probation, and to have no involvement with Hendrick Automotive Group (which was run by Jim Perkins) or Hendrick Motorsports (run by his brother John) during his year of confinement. In December 2000, Hendrick received a full pardon from President Bill Clinton.
This has been beat to death on here time and time again. I personally don't see how it's relevant to this time and place. But to each his/her own.Hendrick...In 1997, Hendrick pleaded guilty to mail fraud.[6] In the 1980s, Honda automobiles were in high demand and Honda executives allegedly solicited bribes from dealers for larger product disbursements.

Damn good question. I would think that to know what an average joe thinks you would have to be one not his superior.
Wrong. Bending up race cars is not the same as killing drivers. If it was, no one would say Nascar has become bland because it is too safe.
No one says "NASCAR is too safe." If they do then they might want to have conversations with Aric Almirola, Kyle Busch, and Denny Hamlin about their injuries and their views might be changed. NASCAR is safer. However, it isn't safe.
BTW, to not see that NASCAR, the networks, and the tracks advertising crashes, sometimes horrific looking ones, isn't attempting to bring in some of the same type of people you want eliminated from the sport then they must not be a rational thinker.
as soon as you get that solved, start on football, baseball, motorcycle, and downhill skiing commercials

Ummm, you might want to jump into the current decade of advertising that the NFL does. Those big hits aren't used anymore. You know with the whole CTE thing being as much of an issue as it is for them. They self corrected.
Thanks for attempting to help out though.

The problem as I see it is NASCAR is trying to sell personalities instead of the racing itself. Drivers can't have personalities as long as they can't say anything that NASCAR thinks is detrimental to racing. We watch for the racing, not the personalities.
Amazing the number of folks around the web who “are done with the sport” but continue following the ratings and audience decline stories and then comment...
Motorsports in general is suffering from what I see. My local NHRA drag strip has mostly older guys racing and in the crowd. Young people now would rather play video games and be on their phone with very little interests in anything else.I don't know what the answer is.Nascar is on its way out

I'v even noticed at the local level less cars, less people in the stands, and really less interest in general. I honestly think Cup will find its niche after it bottoms out, then rebound some, it will never be like it used to be that's for sure.Motorsports in general is suffering from what I see.

Your following the wrong series, try F-1This is a great post. When they went COT, they were marginalizing the manufacturers. NASCAR became driver-centric, and to this day, it still is. Then, they bring the Gen 6, and can't figure out where all of the manufacturer-centric fans went. Additionally, now that the car is supposedly back in the equation, they pile on rule after rule, the OSS, etc. to marginalize the manufacturers (and thus engineers) again. NASCAR has no freakin' direction. Drivers will come and go. The manufactures are the constant (so far). This is STOCK CAR RACING. Drivers are the necessary evil. Bring back Brewer's garage. Let Larry Mac talk technical. Show the fans why these cars are as amazing as they are. Stop dummying down this sport. Dump these stupid rules that end up making the sanctioning body look stupid on Wednesdays when they cucumber wins.
NASCAR says they want to cut costs. They axe a crew member, limit the number of people each team can have, and then implement the stupid OSS. How much did that costs the teams? Where the hell was Kauffman and his buddies on that sh!t? Inspection has become the biggest joke ever. Who gives a sh!t that each car is measured to the thousandth? Nobody. Open it up. Stop this stupidity.
