@@AM-tu1rc There are plenty of racing series on road courses all over the world, but only 2 that race ovals. Nobody outside North America is interested in Road Racing Series which only run in North America, same as nobody outside Downunder cares about their V8 Supercar Series. Thus NASCAR has to focus on their unique selling points which are Ovals and light body contact.

The only time I’ve ever heard interest from non-NASCAR fans is when NASCAR races on road and street courses. Ovals are seen as so dumb that they won’t tune into a lap. As a European, I feel like you might see that in your fellow Europeans, because I certainly do.

The old guard of NASCAR leadership gave zero regard to the rights of the teams or drivers. They could care less if drivers and teams were bleeding money, drivers were dying left and right, races were garbage, etc. If they were around today, race teams would be losing way more money than they do now and the response from NASCAR would be “cry about it more”. People like to complain about Steve Phelps and the new NASCAR, but this modern-day organization is much more friendlier to the rights of the teams and drivers and is willing to work with them on a much more even playing field.

@@Warriorcats24 Its also important to note the last game was released in Oct of 21 – for the 21 season. Other than Iracing there has been no Next Gen game yet –

At least Denny Hamlin’s Fedex 11 hass tuck around. And Bass Pro Shops has remained with Martin Truex Jr. since the Furniture Row days.

And of course, we can’t forget Corey LaJoie and Celsius. That commercial lives rent-free in my head.

Edit: I’d also add Busch beer to this list but it recently changed drivers

NASCAR shot themselves in the foot with this charter nonsense. They can’t turn back now. They got teams dumping 20,30, or even 40 million bucks on one, to late to say “nah, we don’t need those anymore”

agreed people are not into supped up cars anymore

Let the teams build their cars .

@@aaronbrown3901that lies at a major problem, that the American manufacturers are all on the decline. The trucks are the best sellers. But in every other category they aren’t anything special. The Koreans are cheaper, the Japanese more reliable and the Europeans are fancier and more luxurious. All the American manufacturers have is the v8 and that isn’t going into normal cars.

NASCAR was ruined by chasing new fans and not tacking care of the ones they already had
