NASCAR Rejects Gun Ads - Cites “Gradual Shift” on Guns

A.J. was asked what it would take to reboot NASCAR. His answer while we may or may not agree would at least make it where you could stand to watch it again. He said...…..They need two rules...…..a minimum weight and No Spoilers.
I would like to add ..no radials. Hell, let's find out who can drive.

I'm a little fuzzy on "a minimum weight" as there has always been a minimum weight rule.

No spoiler? Hell yeah, going in to turn 3 at Talladega, you'd find out who has the biggest pair of nuts.

Between this and their rejection of Slayer's car sponsorship last week, I'm totally done with them. I used to watch most races with my dad as a kid, but I've gradually waned. Now, I wouldn't go if you gave me free tickets to watch a race from Hendrick's private suite.

I'm not even a Slayer fan, but I can acknowledge a cool idea that likely not only resonates with a percentage of NASCAR fans, but would also attract a couple new ones potentially--and to shut them down was stupid.

Now this?!?! Are they seriously drunk???

I have heard from a few folks who were involved in NASCAR's rise to fame and its 80's-90's-00's fortune, and they are greatly disappointed with NASCAR's direction.

It goes back to that thread from yesterday talking about how impressive Chewy.com's customer service is--my reply was sort of "duh, everyone should be doing exemplary customer service as it's the quickest way to success." Along those same lines, "duh, why would you turn your back on the not-so-secret-but-successful formula that got you there in the first place?!?!" Just who exactly are they aiming for? Wealthier people? They're not gonna come to races. Younger, more "acceptable" new fans for fear of the redneck base going away? There are still plenty of rednecks being born and raised--and they all of a sudden are having a pretty big hole torn in their "stuff to spend money on" as they get outcast by the yuppie management of NASCAR.

I agree with pretty much everything you said. The Slayer thing was the team decided to part ways two days before the race, not NASCAR.
 
Kill off NASCAR and bring back CART if you really want to see who can drive.

NASCAR sucks and always has, at least as long as I’ve been into auto. Do yourselves a big favor and go to VIR or CMP, or hell, even Road Atlanta, for a weekend and enjoy all the things that watching skilled drivers pushing a car to its limits has to offer.
 
Talk about killing your own business. They're throwing gasoline on the fire. Just wait until the G7 car debuts in 2021. It's gonna be running a transaxle and have less horsepower than many of the factory stock muscle cars and sports cars you can buy today right off the showroom floor for less than $100K.
 
There are some mega rich powerful team owners pulling the strings at NASCAR. Roger Penske is one of a few names that come to mind.

They will be lucky to make it to 2021!

Good.

They stepped in sh*t, so now, they can look around for a stick to pick it out of the tread on their shoes.
