They should have done this before they declared bankruptcy, and this is coming from a GM guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Ok they are still in it but wouldn't surprise me if they did back out. NASCAR is nothing like it use to be. It ended after the Winston Cup series got squashed. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoughnut Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 The only thing that has ever been exciting about NASCAR is the big crashes and the last 5 laps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Me personally, I think Nascar is a waste of gas. It doesn't prove shit, it just proves who was lucky they didn't wreck that particular day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted December 17, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) Admittedly Nascar has changed but all motorsports have...you need marketable clean cut drivers to attract sponsors.

Hey look I loved the Winston Cup days as much as anybody but moving away from that was a good idea and inevitable and yes the sponsorship has changed a few times over the recent years but dollars are tightening and there are other sports taking them as well.

Angry ginger Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 10 minutes ago, Pete said: No it wasnt That's when it began its downfall and hasn't stopped since Nascar hit peak popularity after Winston was gone. It ultimately destroyed the sport with the move outside their core region but the world of sports has also completely changed over the last 20 years.

XCR1250 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 A former friend of mine Brother is a Crew Chief for a popular Team, he told me it began to die when Nascar allowed Toyota's to race in "The All American Sport"..was he correct? I don't know for sure but some fans that I know here say the same thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 The advertising/sponsorship from the tobacco industry has affected most sports and has been the decline since they weren't allowed to advertise. Toyota sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
