Nascar is going backwards. 45,000 fans showed up today at a track that used to attract over 140,000. Grandstands are being removed, sponsors can't find the door fast enough, the cars all look identical, the drivers are as boring as oatmeal and the racing can only be improved with gimmicks and tricks that would be more at home in the WWE.
Nascar left it's fan base in the 1990's and has found themselves without a footing.
I agree the cars are impressive, but they should be. Penske recently stated that he could run 3 Indycars for the money he's spending on just one of his Nascar teams.
