NASCAR, where have all your fans gone?

[sloggie]

Big guys like Pockrass call NASCAR out for their BS. Maybe it's time for little guys like @AndyMarquisLive to leave the small circuit and address the issues that affect the largest aspect of the sport. After all what future will the local short track drivers have to look forward to if NASCAR continues to lose its fan base?

It won't be addressed until it collapses like Indy did. Too many vested interests to create real change

But here is the thing, and its a knee slapper, Brian is just the mouth piece, he doenst make any of the calls, he is the puppet, its his sister and the other members that are calling the shots, he is just the figure head.

The sport has gone astray while someone was at the helm.
@AndyMarquisLive is good at what he does and he has a platform to call NASCAR out on their BS. If more people like Pockrass stepped up and told it f'real maybe NASCAR would listen.
Stock car racing is taking a crap. Look at the stands. People will tell you that Cup drivers are killing the lower series because the fans are too foolish to admit that NASCAR is killing itself.
They'll say, "Well at least there's still cars going 'round in a circle every weekend," no matter how bad the product gets. Becoming complacent with a crap product is not going to generate improvement.
Whomever is at the helm needs a wake up call.

I agree about the leadership, they have not made the best decisions.

One other thing my wife does is follow a lot of the NASCAR drivers and wives on twitter. It seems a little weird, but it is a way to connect and in turn makes the drivers more accessible. The drivers need to get a little more vulgar and a little more showman like. It is why I like KyBu personally. I like that he is willing to be the villain and he accepts that role. He does things that escalate situations, which is good and noteworthy. I can appreciate that. Larson has a limited personality when the camera is on him, he is a pretty funny guy and will say some things and go back and forth with fans on twitter, but I think the sport would benefit from these guys being who they really are on camera, not who the sponsor needs them to be.

In other words your wife thinks Brad K is also good for the sport????
Harvick is getting into retirement mode so all we have left is Kyle and Brad who can juice things up. I think Jones will be a part of this pretty soon as soon as he can find a dance partner.

The safer barrier has taken away so many good shorty tracks. Maybe the fans would like a short track

I found the fans last night.

 

[BobbyFord]

Looks pretty sparse.
They’ll tell you it was “sold out.”

 

[SpeedPagan]

The fans most likely gone to the asphalt short track and dirt tracks.

That's a stellar crowd for a pavement Late Model race.
