My oldest son and I had "the NASCAR talk" this past weekend while he visited. We used to go to NASCAR races and watch with a passion when big Dale E was racing. He had real racers to go against like Davey Allison, Kyle Petty, Ernie Ervin, his life long pal Neil Bonnet , Daryl Waltrip and Rusty Wallace , Mark Martin , Sterling Marlin etc... Those days there was real intense LAP to LAP racing going on until the checkered flag dropped. We both could not even recall Sunday what all these new rules are and even who some of the top drivers are now. I don't know why but I can guess how it all went downhill the last 10 years or so. I GUESS the powers that be (you must suck up to and worship the media companies who cover sports) must have been made to tow the "woke" line and make changes to attract every person on GOD's green earth and not to offend anyone.
Attempting to attract folks across the globe (Guam/China/Africa/Holland/Easter Island) and on and on.... people who most likely could not even tell you What in the world a "NASCAR" even is?!??! Plus I am certain just like all other American sports , they are probably pricing themselves out of the realm of what plain old John Doe and family can even afford anymore. It was priced kind of at the edge of that the last years we went to races. I think the last one I watched this year was in fact the Daytona 500 and I CAN NOT even recall who won. For me really , the bomb hit when Dale hit that wall. All the air went out of it for me after that. I did try to stay interested but they are killing it.
