How Does the Brickyard 400 Continue?

The 2024 Brickyard 400 returned to mixed reviews from fans but also a large vote of support from drivers and media alike. With all of that, the first running since 2020 was generally seen as a success. So today I want to look at why it was and where NASCAR goes here with the return of the event that is one of NASCAR’s Crown Jewels.

There’s nothing you can do anymore. With this day and age in social media that’s not gonna get any fans in seats anytime soon. It’s not like 2003. Daytona 500 can’t even reach 10 million views anymore and people will make every excuse in the book for it.

@craigstephenson7676 July 22, 2024 at 10:53 pm

To be fair it also has over twice the seats that Daytona has, this will probably be in the top 5 in terms of attendance this year. It’s never going to sell out again, but that’s not the end of the world

@nomadman5288 July 22, 2024 at 11:02 pm

The Indy 500 is THE race of all races. If you look at other tracks that both NASCAR and Indy go to, Indycar gets Xfinity series crowds. Just look at the crowds at Iowa, Gateway and Nashville SS later this year. No race compares to the Indy 500. That’s just the way it is.

@packisbetter90 July 22, 2024 at 11:28 pm

I still wonder how the road course experiment could have gone had it had more than one year in the Gen 6 car, because that 2021 race was a surprisingly good race before the curb crisis messed up the finish. Had it gotten more than one chance really at a good race, then maybe even if the drivers still didn’t like it, at least it probably would have looked less embarrassing.

@Joshua8824Racing July 22, 2024 at 11:23 pm

In the Xfinity Series race the biggest difference was the low downforce and no aero ducts. The car was more of an offense car. The very instant you’re behind a car the car in front loses grip. While the cup car is more defense making passing impossible.

Pretty sure everyone out there driving at 70% throttle for 40 laps to save fuel has something to do with it.

Imagine if NASCAR had the Brickyard 400 be the race coming out of the Olympic break and the two week interval was used to hold IndyCar style time trials and qualifying that could be broadcast on the internet or hell even let Amazon get a preview and give them the broadcast rights. Thats two weeks of hype online AND advertising to the Olympic audience (NBC!) building up the return of a historic race. The Indy 500 in a vacuum is just another race, but the month of May is part of what makes the Indy 500 so prestigious.

Sometimes the people crave carny tactics. They want you to fill them with all sorts of hype. It helps the viewing experience.

I was there in person. Pretty decent race in my opinion, but Xfinity was still better. The restarts were where the bulk of the action was along with the strategy. Watching Larson scythe his way through the field was incredible though. He earned that win regardless of what people say.

@samharris3508 July 23, 2024 at 4:51 am

Was the racing really better? No one really passed for the lead under green. And it was a fuel saving slog of a race at the end. And NASCAR just wanted the race to be done and over with at the end because they had to move to a different network. NASCAR has called finishes like this in the past with different winners. So calling it rigged is a major stretch.

Using a golf analogy, I always viewed Indy as the Players’ Championship. Prestigious in its own right, but not on the level of the majors. What NASCAR had for the Winston Million is what I would consider the Crown Jewels, though I do see the argument of putting the Bristol Night Race over Talladega.

Applauding nascar for intentionally ending the race with a car sitting on the track for almost a whole lap is insane. inconsistency like that is why nascar isnt taken seriously outside the south

@blufey2925 July 23, 2024 at 5:50 am

Remember late in the Nashville race when the 2 car spun late but gathered it up and kept on trucking? Nascar called a caution instantly. In the Brickyard on sunday late they waited forever until Larson took the white flag before they threw it. It was BS.
