Seeing those videos its hard to believe there were some races run 8 years ago. It will never reopen now. Cheaper to build a new track than do all the repairs I would imagine. '04 was the last Cup race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Kyle Busch not a fan of NASCAR's marketing campaigns promoting young drivers CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Kyle Busch made his first NASCAR Cup start 14 years ago, just before turning 19 years old. He used to be one of the up-and-coming stars of the sport, battling names such as Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin, Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth for wins and fans. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver is now one of the veterans, and he sees marketing campaigns pushing new drivers now that many of those older guys he battled have retired. And the feisty driver -- now 32 years old -- doesn't exactly love that idea. Kyle Busch, 32, doesn't exactly love the idea of NASCAR promoting young drivers. Jonathan Ferrey/Getty Images "All you're doing is advertising all these younger guys for fans to figure out and pick up on and choose as their favorite driver," Busch said during the NASCAR preseason media days at the Charlotte Convention Center. "I think it's stupid. I don't know, I'm not the marketing genius that's behind this deal. "So I just do what I can do, and my part of it is what my part is." NASCAR has a slew of Cup drivers younger than 25: Ryan Blaney (24), Darrell Wallace Jr. (24), Alex Bowman (24) Chase Elliott (22), Erik Jones (21) and William Byron (20). Blaney does a podcast for NASCAR, and NASCAR often uses the young drivers on its social media channels. NASCAR has seen a number of veterans retire in the past three years, including Gordon, Stewart, Edwards and Earnhardt -- and likely Kenseth, who doesn't have a ride this year because of a lack of sponsorship. "I don't care. They're good kids, and I understand," said 38-year-old driver Clint Bowyer, who replaced Stewart. "They're filling some pretty big voids. You got somebody getting into Jeff Gordon's car. You've got somebody getting into Dale Jr.'s car. "We have to figure out how to fill that void somehow, and it can't all be on the same old guys that have been there." The key, Bowyer said, is to promote proven young drivers. "I get it if they deserve it. ... Look at Matt Kenseth: He was outrunning them pretty much each and every week and not getting the limelight. Some of those things are bothersome at times," said Bowyer, who finished 18th in the standings. "Did I deserve it? I wasn't running as good as I needed to. But if I was running up front and should have been in the limelight, I would have been barking, biting back a little bit." Busch conceded there could be a reason NASCAR wants to push the younger drivers. "I guess one thing that can be said that the younger guys are bullied into doing more things than the older guys are because we say no a lot more because we've been there, done that, have families and things like that and want to spend as much time as we can at home," Busch said. "Maybe that's some of it. But some of the marketing campaigns pushing these younger drivers is I wouldn't say all that fair." Kevin Harvick, entering his 18th year as a Cup driver, laughed when asked about Busch's comments. "That's like the child that's whining, somebody who's whining for some attention," Harvick said. "I can't complain about that because of the fact that our sponsors have been so involved with the things that we do. NASCAR has been very open to the things that they're doing and involving us in it. "I can't back that up, to be honest with you. You have to have a push for the younger-generation guys as well in order to help introduce them to the fans. In the end, that only works if they have success on the racetrack." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted January 24, 2018 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Harvick absolutely nailed it ...Shrub is a whiny fucking cunt. Younger fans are needed to keep the sport alive and they like Chase Elliot and Ryan Blaney not to mention those two have a connection to the past that might keep older fans Interested.

hwytohell Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 In francecar today , most drivers will be done at age 45 - 47. Unless they are winning multi races per year. You will never see again in cup a driver age 50 or over in a car that can win, start and park field filler only................. if that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's fine....it every other form of motorsports drivers/racers are done well before 45 and while it's cute to have Morgan Shepherd racing for Jesus and clogging up the track in his late 70's it really is pointless.

Sturgis always seemed like grizzled dirty people. Havent been to either in 10+ yrs. The grizzled dirty people may have more to do with acomidations . As many there are staying at campgrounds and not the limited hotels in the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never ride my kids behind me because i don't want to be responsible for their death or injury Is that how you ride your sled too? 21 hours ago, DAVE said: Funny ive never felt that riding a bike...did i ride defensive...sure...but it was only because i know from my own experience...ive not seen bikes sometimes while driving a car or truck. I would assume up there and BumfukisStan the traffic is considerably lighter than down here. Every 16 year old girl has a Jeep Wrangler and every 17 old boy has a Subaru WRX. Most of the time they're looking at their phone rather than the windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
