NASCAR has a ton of good momentum as of this upload, and while fans and industry members should be happy with that there still are different questions that need to be answered by NASCAR for the long term of the sport. So today I want to bring some of these forward in good faith that NASCAR can cover these bases before any become a major issue that hampers the sport's growth in the coming years and even decades. So here we are, these are 7 big NASCAR questions that need to be asked.

What questions do you think should be asked to NASCAR?
When will the TV deal be complete
when will cars stop slowing down
@@JackCallSportsby the end of the year if not early next year
When will the cars actually have some power?
Tim Taylor: "More Power!" (grunt)
I think the biggest problem with NASCAR now is the missing stardom…. We don’t have the stars like Gordon and Jr anymore. F1 has the superstar drivers but not the racing… I feel like NASCAR has the good racing but is missing the star power. Our drivers need to be viewed as “rockstars” and in order to do that you need personalities. Good racing + star power = GREAT series
I think Denny’s actions detrimental has helped for the CZcams side of things, but we need either a drive to survive or BTS type of show to really show the drivers and their personalities to the common viewer.
@@parkerwalsh3340 days of thunder 2? 😁😁
We have Ross Chastain that’s all we need
WE NEED ANOTHER DALE SR
Another thing I think is missing is consistent drivers in terms of who they are driving for/sponsored by.
Jeff Gordon was always the DuPont 24
Jimmy Johnson was always the Lowes 48
They started and ended their (at least full time) NASCAR careers in the same car and number.
The reason I ended up not watching after 2008 was because so many drivers got their numbers switched around starting the 2009 season I couldn’t tell who was who anymore. I always identified the drivers by their name and number. But they are changing so often and so rapidly with different sponsors it can be difficult to keep track
I’m one that records all the Cup races. Sometimes I can’t be in front of a tv to watch, or if it’s a plate race I can ff through all the cautions. If they go all to streaming, for me that would suck so bad.
They upload the races a few days later on youtube without the commercials
One question I would ask is are we in for a points format change soon? Because we could have a points format change with the next TV deal
I doubt it. The playoffs have been more compelling the past few years than the chase for the cup ever was. My only complaint with it is Talladega knocking guys out of the playoffs at literally no fault of their own. I don't think it should be part of the playoffs personally.
@@btbarr16the problem is racing is fairly random and outcomes noisy. It’s like baseball. You need a 5-7 game series to tell who’s the better team. A single game is too much of a coin toss.
As far as the weather situation, let's PLEASE have an actual rain tire, full rain package, preferably with mudflaps and some type of attachable mud cover to mitigate the rooster-tail effect. This car could race phenomenally in the rain. As long as it's not raining too hard, you wouldn't have to cancel the race, and it would really shake up the formula for these tracks, depending on the weather -drivers who are good at racing in wet weather like Shane Van Gisbergen will really shine with a good rain package, and add to the adaptability of the Cup field's skillset.
I would love to see 43 cars again
Having sports on streaming is a pain because it makes it hard to switch back and forth between regular channels and the streaming platform
Questions about Silly Season is always so much fun too
A tarp cover would be wild. Like a cookie cutter having roll out tarps that come out underneath the safer barriers and can be hooked onto the apron. That’d be interesting
Take notes from cricket/ baseball tarps over the pitch/ diamond
You could raise the tarp above the track and race underneath it.
I think one of the huge problems, is that they’re changing too much, and that’s turning the traditional fan away
NASCAR already has a major international series in the Whelen EuroNASCAR series. Best way to start making their international footprint is have a NASCAR Cup Series race on one of their weekends. It could also help get opportunities for drivers in that series test their the abilities in the States.
This. There is also a Canada and a Mexico series.
I expect hybrid tech to show up in the cars in the next couple of years. Full EV I’d expect to launch as a separate minimal series with maybe a dozen races. As for fuel, the entire cup contingent probably uses less fuel in a race that a jet airplane flying across the US.
The issue with finding the next superstar is that with the Next Gen car allowing for more competitive races, it seems like it takes a combination of skill and talent. Plus, the average finishes are in the 10s and there was almost 20 winners last year.
Hell, I'm banking on there being more than 15 winners this year.
I think though with that being many winners, all you need is just someone or two to just jump in front of that camera and say, "Hey, I'm here to stay, and I am that driver."
Drivers gotta start trying to get away from being shy, and take some notes on why drivers in 80's to 00's were superstars. And quite frankly imo, NASCAR needs to let em loose with that.
@tescoshortage last year was a weird year. No teams had any notes or data. Now that they have top teams are thinning out the wins from weaker teams.
This kind of parity and competition is something NASCAR really needs to capitalize on considering that people's #1 gripe with F1 is how predictable and spread out the races are. Tbh this opportunity is staring NASCAR in the face and they're not reaching out and grabbing it
What will the TV deal look like?
Will we ever go back to Non-chase points, or 2004-06 format?
When will Nashville Fairgrounds be approved for renovation to get NASCAR back there?
@johnhaas2523 What would you know Mr. Knowitall???
Besides, I wasn't even talking to you
My only gripe with NASCAR right now is stop with the late start to races. I loved the 12 noon and 1pm starts from back in the day and I understand the late starts because of hot weather but you open yourself up for those pop up evening storms in the summer. NASCAR didn't have all these issues with rain when the races started at 12
Yeah. I loved the noon starts as well. Both as a race fan attending the race and as TV viewer.
Apparently, it's better for TV ratings. But from am attending fans' perspective, I absolutely hate the later starts.
The races end late. I have to leave the race early to beat traffic home, just to make it back at a reasonable time, because I have work the next morning.
I practically stopped attending races when I lived on the east coast because it was always a minimum 2 hour drive for either Pocono or Dover.
How will the TV deal affect backmarker charters. Will NASCAR expand the field to 43 with 40 charters and 3 open cars?
thats actually quite a good idea, ngl. would add a little more interest on watching qualifying or keeping up with it
Chase Elliott is following in his father's footsteps. Bill said several times, he would be just as happy to race in front of completely empty stands. Cheering fans were nice but he was there purely for the love of racing, as is his son. It will be very hard for anyone to be a real standout superstar with the series being so competitive.
Yes, there has to be better technology for drying water off of a racetrack. Air Titans making numerous, painfully slow laps around a track is ridiculous. Get some engineers on it and make something that will do the job in one or two passes.
the engineers came up with the air titans. remember how long it took before them?
@@justinwilliford7151 Yes, I sure do. I sat through many multi-hour rain delays. That doesn't mean they should be content with what we they have now, forever.
@@paulday5722 true, but i just don't know how much better they can get at drying the track surface than what they are doing now. unless they can come up with a track surface that repels water, i'm not sure what else they can do.
They would be smart to go in the synthetic fuel route. Demand is going down for electric cars and Germany has opened up their “all electric future” to now consider and investigate synthetic fuels and slowly they are realizing that is the future and not full electric.
Hydrogen is probably the best alternative fuel out there. The only problem is that the government isn't handing out billions in subsidies for hydrogen technology because, they want to line the pockets of those that invested in electric technology.
@@samharris3508 when it’s all said and done it will more than likely be synthetic fuels that win out, the oil companies are already putting work into that and Germany has already opened it up as a option. This week VW has cut production and spending on its electric cars because no body is buying them. Same thing will happen here more than likely once the green agenda pawns are gone from power. European countries are finally standing up against this mess, the US just got set back 4 years with the current idiots.
What can be done to increase sponsorship for teams and races for nascar in the near future, especially in Cup?
Nothing can be done because the sponsors make the final decision.
There's plenty of people under 40 who use cable or satellite tv. Especially in the southeast and midwest. The 2 regions with the most "dead zones" connection wise. At my house, I can do basic web browsing and social media. But trying to stream anything isn't worth all the buffering and poor picture quality. The highest quality I can use on basic CZcams is 480p unless I want constant buffering. Even then I have to wait until 8 pm at night when the connection throttling stops. Also, my monthly cable bill averages $15-$20 cheaper than my monthly ISP bill. If I added a streaming service or 2, my monthly ISP bill would be almost $200
@Maverick33 you're lucky you can even watch CZcams at 480p DVD quality, I used to have to watch everything at 360p.
I don’t think people would have problems with a hybrid engine if it sounded like the Cadillac hypercar hybrid engine at Le Mans.
I do have questions for NASCAR…
- how much longer until the gimmicks (the chase, stages, etc) are gonna last?
- will the sanctioning ever be strict about drivers showing no respect?
- if the NASCAR/IndyCar crossover continues without the Indy Road Course, what is the best race track (oval or road course) to have the crossover?
- what was the purpose about the number placements being mandatorily forward instead of letting the sponsors and teams decide where the numbers should be?
- what can the sanctioning body to help ARCA continue to exist? (Since they bought ARCA in 2018)
- will the sanctioning body ever let IndyCar race at ISC tracks again?
- will the Daytona 500 ever have normal Speedweeks again if money isn’t an issue?
- after the success of Garage 56 at the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans, Will the sanctioning body ever have some more Stock Cars on the big endurances races? (Rolex 24, 12 Hours of Sebring, big races outside of the US)
- how come the sanctioning body doesn’t listen to the drivers as much, if not, not at all?
- the NASCAR diecasts and video game consoles have been a big problem for a while due to the bad quality of the diecasts and how bad nascar gaming console has been, is there solutions for the sanctioning body to make Lionel Racing do better at their jobs? Why are they still with Motorsport Games?
- will we ever see race tracks have 1 race date a year to make room for more tracks and maybe shorten the schedule a bit so the drivers and teams be with their families more often and making the teams work on what to fix for the next races, and not intervene with the NFL?
Those are the questions I can think of.
Sorry man but I don’t think Nascar will get rid of the gimmicks or the playoffs or stages anytime soon.
@@travisglantonthetowerenthusiasthen they’re never gonna start fixing their problems….. lol they’re not gonna tap a new market long term with bs stuff….
@@frankfarms83 yeah
as a younger viewer, i prefer to watch the races on youtube a couple days after the race so i can skip the commercials and get nonstop coverage. but i also had to buy sling to watch fox for the first half of the season bc they weren’t posting them :/
As someone who lives in a ruralish area an hour outside the twin cities, cable is basically our only option. Internet is garbage, we can't get satellite internet because it can be interrupted by trees and weather, and some wireless options are blocked by trees. Thankfully T Mobile home internet is good enough for our household of 4 to have decent internet most of the time. The only time our internet from them drops is the Haunted Hayride in Wyoming as we live an air mile away from there, and phone service has higher priority on the T Mobile network. I hope we still get a good amount of cable races, so we aren't straining our internet, but wouldn't be upset about Amazon taking the Xfinity series as we are prime members.
Methanol is a great option fuel wise. Burns clean, but you still get the badass sound. Plus that opens up the ability to race indoors which can solve weather issues
I think a big question is whether or not we’re going to get a horsepower change anytime soon. It’ll change things up and I believe we need higher horsepower to help racing get better at short/some intermediate tracks. Another personal preference is to have a streaming service (peacock) pick up nascar NOT 3 different cable channels.
Europe already has their own Nascar series.
I would like to see better advertisement, and more merchandise be available. I remember when I was younger I could find nascar hats at target, and see a cardboard cutout of the miller lite car.
How will the TV Deal play out?
Would you like to see people like Lewis Hamilton, Heilo Castroneves or Katherine Legge in the cup series?
My biggest question is when tf are they gonna make the cars faster. It's insulting that Cup cars have less than 700 horsepower. Sometimes it feels like NASCAR is trying to make itself look bad in comparison to its FIA competitors.
Nascar needs a Drive to Survive type show on whatever network picks them up. We don't see enough personalites from the drivers like we have in the past. It's not all the drivers fault though. They just don't have a platform to be themselves and be infront of more casual fans unless it's a post race interview
So the deal with the wet weather package, it’s more of a question that I think NASCAR ever since the 2020 Xfinity Roval race and 2021 COTA has been “how much rain is too much?” Cause ya look at F1 rain tire for example they disperse about 70% of water to get as much grip in wet conditions as possible. And I think regardless you’re gonna see massive amounts of spray from the cars, mainly on starts/restarts. I’d say tracks could try having better drainage systems if possible, maybe better and brighter flasher, I did suggest NASCAR could add brake lights to the road course/short track package. As for short tracks, they just need to race in full wet conditions on em if they’re gonna keep racing in the rain on 1 mile and under tracks. U look at Martinsville and North Wilkesboro, it’s obvious they could race the track a little wetter than that. Especially Martinsville where it’s a .5 mile paper clip. It’s just two straightaways and two corners, ya got cars constantly going around it, obviously it’s gonna dry rapidly when ya got 36 cars average racing around it. They didn’t even need to use the wipers during the Truck race cause there wasn’t enough spray to say so. Run the short tracks in the rain if you’re gonna keep doing this and I mean in full wet conditions, have the teams choose when to pit unless it’s Xfinity, Truck, or ARCA and they aren’t running with Cup, and have Goodyear bring actual rain tires to the short tracks, not an intermediate tire. Cause that’s all the wet weather tire is for the short tracks, it’s an intermediate tire. Plus ya look at WEC, Goodyear supplies tires for LMP2 cars and will supply tires for LMGT3 next year, and both Michelin and Goodyear developed rain tires that could last longer in drying conditions. Cause racing in the rain on short tracks could very well be revolutionary to short track racing if done right. Cause it could be passed down through the ranks if NASCAR can do it right with Cup, Xfinity, and Trucks. I think ARCA does it, could try it for the Pinity’s Series and Mexico Series, and in Euro Series for what shirt tracks they do have, and try it in the Super Late Model Tour and Modified Tour if it’s possible. Then maybe if NASCAR gets it right maybe CARS and SRX could try it and see if it works, and so on. As for road courses, I think they just need to work on the limit. If it starts looking like 2021 COTA or 2016 Mid Ohio for Xfinity then that’s probably the limit.
They have euro nascar already
Chastain is the next superstar if he can win a few more.
What about the possible supercars/Australian invasion? First Ambrose, Now SVG and possibly Brodie Kostecki. Perhaps more coming as well?
Amazon will definitely be interesting,I need to get that soon I guess
Here’s one: how much? How much money will it take to get you to sell the sport and never come back?
Personalities, going to other countries and the weather are the 3 big things I feel
When the NASCAR Cup Series goes full electric, I’ll just go outside and watch the grass grow.
I want hybrid engines, they will honestly bring back some power. A hybrid engine with power is more inviting to the manufacturers than a regular V8
WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET ALL THE RACES ON FOX/NBC HAS TOO HAPPEN
....I want it like it was back in the day when you run what you brung....allot a certain dollar amount to each team, take the spoilers off, define an arrow package....yes back in the day we had separate patterns for all makes....go to road Atlanta and other unused formats....open it for all manufacturers.....pax....rew
My question is simple. Does NASCAR care about international markets or did they just buy up/start Euo NASCAR to stave off competition from TCR/other touring car series? If so it idn't work, with how most GT an touring car racing has gone to TCR an GT3 respectively...
When it comes to the new TV deal, my main question is are races mainly going to be on OTA TV or is NASCAR going to do what Formula E is going to do next year & have the majority of races on a streaming platform like Prime Video? Another question relates to new tracks & the question I have is: when is NASCAR going to do a points paying race outside of the US for the first time for the Cup Series?
I am 19 and watch nascar on cable every week. Cable is my preferance
I’m 26. I watch cable.
i wish nascar would just stick to one provider. stream on cable and on a streaming service so more can watch it easily.
They can broadcast on network/cable TV and streaming at the same time. Indycar and NBC do it. It's not either/or.
I think that there's no doubt that NASCAR will have to do some sort of international series. Whether as a full series using the Le Mans style cup car or not is another question entirely. I would think that we would have had some sort of Japanese tie in by now with Toyota as a manufaturer.
Nascar does have international races as part of their own series. They're called the; Nascar Pintys series (canada),Euronascar and Nascar Brazil sprint series.
@@NoContextVideosChannel I'm thinking much more of a companion to the Cup series that is marketed worldwide. Sure, there are smaller international stores already, but I couldn't tell you a single thing about them, since they're not being promoted at all in the States.
The 3 biggest questions for me right now are:
When will TV deal happen and what will it look like?
What race tracks can we add on the schedule that are not currently?
When can we get more horsepower and less downforce (to especially help with short tracks)?
I cut the cord three years ago, so I miss all races on FS1 and NBCSN . I also don't have the internet at home, so if Nascar goes to streaming also or in place of Fox and NBC , I guess I'll see even fewer race, so at what point do I give up and follow another sport? I guess like Bud Light, Nascar is only concerned about the next generation of fans .
What I'd rather expect for NASCAR to do is to broadcast on CZcams for free. It's easy and it doesn't require a TV deal.
@@johnhaas2523 you do realize that you can make money off of CZcams? Corporations are just paid more than regular channels. Next time, try to educate yourself about how CZcams's monetization system works.
@@johnhaas2523neither do TV ratings in the long run. Also, I saw your racist post on Twitter about BFM.
Spa, Bathurst, brands hatch are some good international races that would be awesome to see a race at
i think it would definitely be better if they went racing on an oval, to really show what our sport is about. Lausitzring (really only needs safer barriers), rockingham (apparently being refurbished) and twin ring motegi (oval has been fixed) are some great options they could take a look at.
@@toast4499 international oval tracks are nearly as rare as hens teeth! I can only think of 2.
@@toast4499Motegi would be great.
Which new manufacturer will join NASCAR? Will NASCAR have to go hybrid to entice new OEMs to do so? When NASCAR does go hybrid, will it convince them to race on more street tracks since noise ain't a concern?
Will NASCAR have another long, sustaining growth period?
They have carbon neutral gasoline. Porsche just built a big plant in Chile where they make it. It’s expensive AF right now but as production scales up the cost should come down. There I just solved your fuel question.
Doesn't Formula 1 use synthetic fuels?
@@PaperBanjo64 I’m not sure. I know they all use hybrid drive trains
Not a fan of potentially having to purchase another streaming service (hint hint to all the media companies: THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM OUT THERE NOW, STOP! Go back to the days of Netflix and Hulu and THAT'S IT!) ON TOP of the Sling service I currently have to watch all the races live and watch other sports with from time to time. I like to be frugal with what I pay for, and needing to pay more for the same coverage I'm currently getting would be asinine to me. No, I don't care that signing up for Prime would give more benefits, I'm not interested in them. EV would be a horrible idea, maybe even hybrid would be too. Fuel sources are currently fine. Cup cars need a lot more power on intermediate/shorter tracks. There were other stars in the show during the times of Dale Earnhardt, Dale Jr, Jeff Gordon, etc., and there's plenty of talented stars now, although an opportunity for more actual personality wouldn't hurt. There is a Euro Nascar series, although it would be interesting to see a Cup level series over there, maybe with some drivers from both series coming overseas every so often. Could use better rain tires and rooster tail mitigation, I think re-engineering and repaving every track on the schedule would be astronomically and prohibitively expensive.
CHANGE THE POINTS SYSTEM TO BE MORE LIKE THE WINSTON ERA. Doesn't have to be exactly the same, wins can still be prioritized via greater points worth than in the Winston format, but stop doing this Playoffs nonsense. Maybe even keep stage racing and points rewards, but keep it green throughout unless an actual caution happens around stage breaks. Reward season-long consistency for the entire season, don't level the top ranks of the field just for more entertaining finishes.
Great video. Just a little correction: Formula E is not a series "F1 has". FIA is F1's AND FE's sanctional body, so it's an FIA series
I believe getting more drivers on weekly podcasts would help their popularity. I used to say anyone but Denny, but now i like him. He's intelligent and very honest in my opinion. Good video thanks😎👍
Changing the point system.
gallons
Chastain is like Elliot personality wise. Both do not want to be in front a camera really
** but Ross does way better than chase in front of a camera though
Ross needs to be trained by AJ Foyt, Tony Stewart, and an entertainer. Get out there and fight, rubbin is racin, I came here to get wins and not suck, etc.
Would like to see IROC Series come back?
No SRX is way more fun
I wonder if in 10 year nascar looks to F1 teams at “sustainable” fuels? It’s in the regulations to have a 100 percent sustainable fuel siurce in f1 sometime in the next few years
The fuel question is the biggest, and the most divisive perhaps.
I don't mind, I am not a puritan, and I have watched since the mid 90s as a kid.
I’ve been saying for awhile expand the Charters and have 3 open cars.
Rid that damn sequence shifter for short tracks
The biggest question is what’s wrong with the fords
Some of the big differences I've seen between Formula 1 and NASCAR, fairly well explain why some fans choose one over the other.
On one hand NASCAR is a lot more driver diverse and gives plenty of the drivers a chance at a win or at least a solid finish making it unpredictable and entertaining. But they have no extremely polarizing figures, and the one's that are most polarizing of the group are nearing retirement, Hamlin, Truex, and KB are just a few I can name off the top of my head. Also the fact that NASCARs sub series' are broadcast on TV makes it a lot easier to watch the rise of young drivers into the cup series unlike with F1.
On the other hand though F1 has that super stardom aspect from drivers like Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc etc. But alongside that is a price as the lack of position change and passing may seem boring in comparision to NASCAR, as the same figures find themselves near the top plenty more often than not. Another thing though that does help F1 is their ability to race in weather, sure not any type of weather, but F1 can race on plenty more rain than NASCAR can at the moment.
Overall I think NASCAR is fairly solid as is, a few tweaks and edits here and there will allow them to develop possibly outside just the States which will massively benefit the international aspect. Allowing for a superstar though, I feel would take away from the parity that for me, gives NASCAR its charm. What currently makes NASCAR entertaining to me is the incredible amount of parity, about 25 drivers can win any given race and it makes everything so unpredictable and entertaining, and therefore different from that of F1.
I love both sports and think both are intriguing to outsiders, while not being the same as each other. It does suck that the fanbases argue so often, but I get it, some people prefer to watch one over the other and I myself can't argue with them. Much love to both series ❤
How is truex polarizing?
I would like to see both for streaming as live/post showing of the live for streaming and live this way you get to get the most viewers like NBC does for other sports or ESPN does for some sports. Then I want to see the attempt to try a few series over sea like an Australian one on the same tracks the V12 cars race on and try to do some Enduro series similar to the one stock series popular in Europe. I would like to see a separate series for E cars, hopefully not all are Tesla cars as those I am sure due to how poor they are now for driving they would be so bad they end up with drivers hired by Tesla forced to drive the cars for a job they were secretly hired for and not allowed sponsors of any kind other then some that NASCAR has that would work for an E-car like the tires, the insurance sponsor for NASCAR and so on like Coke company. Just my hopes to see in NASCAR.
Don't they own IMSA though?
Go to Australia! If there’s anyone that loves Americans, it’s them
Your driver who could be a superstar to push….DH…major sponsor, owns a team with MJ, has a podcast and very outspoken
I think nascar fans fail to understand that motorsports as a whole is a niche thing you don't grow up cheering your local garage it's a rich persons sport therefor it'll be naturally smaller no way of artificial marketing or whatever will change that nascar will always lose out to the likes of football and nfl for that reason, also NASCAR's presence outside of America is quite literally 0
"Literally 0." You know NASCAR has divisions in Canada, Mexico, and even Europe, right?
There are lots of NASCAR fans outside the US. There are NASCAR series in Canada and Mexico, and the recent success of SVG created a lot of fans in Australia and New Zealand.
@@crystaljon that moment when Canada and Mexico is in the American continent
@@D2RCR I'm a nascar fan outside the us and have been for 6 years and across many years and many European countries I'm yet to find someone else with the same intrest
@@D2RCR or even just a nascar coat or hat etc is a once a year sight and the people wearing them do it for pure fashion reasons not because there race fans
What will the new TV deal look like?
Nascar does have a European series, it’s just not that popular
We need drivers to start developing their personalities now while the sponsorship money is still there.
I mean….. you know there’s a huge problem when your one of (imo the biggest) name in the sport doesn’t want to race long term in that series and would rather focus on world of outlaws dirt racing (that’s where my focus has been over asscar the last 4 years also)…..
I think the "young" demo doesn't understand one thing...
Using your own words, those under 40 don't even use cable...
What is the VAST majority of NASCAR viewers?
Are they willing to lose millions of viewers on the hope that they will suddenly gain a very fickle audience long-term?
(We are talking about people that like videos that last less than 1 minute)
Look at IndyCars numbers for races on NBC/USA compared to Peacock.
It will kill the sport.
(Why? Sponsors will bail)
Nobody can be the next star with this car..... there is nobody that can dominate since the car is the same for everyone
Damn this mf curious
Hybrid engines are fine. You can change the fuel. Indycar already has a low emitions 100% renewable fuel.
But Electric NO! I'm not some anti environmentalist, but it just sounds terrible. Formula E actually has really good racing, much better than Formula 1, but I just can't bring myself to embrace it because it sounds terrible.
The sound of the cars isn’t everything
One big question I have or two is Well they or won't they go hybrid or full on electric because I don't like that, I am no fan of EV's I do not want to see NASCAR do that, But my other is if Amazon comes along how the heck am I gonna watch those races I am not interesting in paying to Amazon to watch them, and what about the Truck Series how are they gonna be on tv if most Xfinity races are on Amazon, or the half dozen cup series they're talking about. And also how many could be on NBC or Fox the big networks for both.
Why don't they campaign tweaked stock cars, tmore true to heritage
wtf,?? 1000 horse Mopar, Chevy, Ford showroom cars not enuff mm,??
3:12 combating staleness and boredom is something I've been talking about.
We (the fans) don't HATE gimmicks.... we hate when a gimmick becomes stale and boring. Let's do dirt maybe every other year, and let's not always do it at Bristol. EL Dora could host a dirt race every other year? Alternate between Indy and the RC year to year. Alternate between Roval and oval the second trip to Charlotte every year. Or, maybe not go to Charlotte twice EVERY year.
Chicago Street was cool let's do something else like that once or twice a year in alternating cities.... because if you just keep doing it in Chicago every year, it's going to get stale and we're going to get bored. Hey, maybe instead of Homestead EVERY year, let's do a street circuit in South Beach every 3rd year?
And we as fans need to be more realistic and realize that NASCAR does a good job of listening to us and tweaking things, but with all the options at their disposal it's just impossible to put out the perfect schedule that checks all the boxes for the entire fan base.
I think one fix to the rain issue, and maybe I’m looking at the wrong thing, but get someone else to make the rain tires. Michelin have tires that are great in the wet and we seen that in IMSA.
It depends on who you are honestly. International fans want way more road courses. American fans don’t want or care international races or fans. Traditional fans want dale earnhardt to rise from the grave. I just want nascar to have consistency. The same schedule every year ect. I don’t give a damn about the political shit they do and I really don’t want to see them move to hybrid or electric.
The car industry isn't going electric, Toyota alone produces more cars then global EV production *could* be with a monopoly on global lithium production, EV production has topped out and the simple fact of the matter is that a collapse of the auto industry in excess of 95% is not happening no matter how much EV fans want to pretend it is.
Here is a question
When will people stop complaining about everything nascar does and stop lying about it being woke dead and it died with dale when will that stop when will the fans learn to accept change and accept we ain't going back to the 50s-80s stuff ever again when will people realize that loser flag ain't coming back plus had no place ever in this sport this sport is about racing not loser flags and real life politics also when will people realize stage points are not a bad thing
And a more spots in the chase from 16 to 20 and have a finale 8 instead of 4
What about heated tracks? We have heated driveways up in the great white north. I realize it it extremely expensive to do and would only be possible with a full on repave at the minimum. I think it would potentially lessen the drying time for the track or hell even if it was just on pit road I think this may be a possible solution given the technology we have in the present time.
Nascar goes Electric it will die.
If nascar goes full electric the sport will die in seconds myself i would be gone the sound is what makes the sport go round I think if they are forced to go ev just close up shop instead of running it into the ground
You don't actually think they can go electric? These big cars would have literally like a 20 mile range... Yeah, then they can have 12 stages in a race and they can charge for 60 minutes between every stage... Brilliant 😊
Nascar going streaming would be a mistake in my opinion. Sure, few under 40 use cable, but that happens to be the majority of the NASCAR fanbase. If they just isolate them numbers would shoot down
Yeah nascar needs to stop appeasing the west coast no more 4:30 starts and move it back to 1pm and 2pm est…thats how you avoid the weather for the most part…
Will Nascar be going electric in a few years?
Better not!!!!
@@rcguy902 yeah
Change happens guys. Accept it
@@RACINGUS95 no not me.
@@johnhaas2523 what is hybrid?
If electric engines become the norm, allot of us stop watching.
I’d stop watching nascar if they made them electric
Yeah, sure mate. You’re real mature. Very grown up.
Chase aint nothing special. Do not know how he is most popular, because of his dad? thats a weird reason.
Yes that's literally the main reason plus he drives for Hendrick too.
