If you are going to be such a negative Nancy, why post?NASCAR is pretty much on death's doorstep. Attendance is down. TV ratings are down. France has run it into the ground. Its basically rolling billboards and fixed outcomes ala WWE. NASCAR will make sure JJ never gets that 7th championship. Clowns like Danica are their for ratings. BTW that has failed. And no talents like the Dillon brothers have rides because their drunken POP POP owns the team
Honestly, let's go through this point by point.
"NASCAR is pretty much on death's doorstep. Attendance is down. TV ratings are down"
Attendance is down for just about every sport save football. Same with TV ratings. It's because of both more entertainment options then ever and by design- NASCAR is on FS1/NBCSN to help build up these networks. Ratings were going to be down regardless of what happens this year simply because FS1 and NBCSN are just not as big as TNT or ESPN.
"France has run it into the ground"
Not a big fan of Brian either, but he was able to get a huge TV contract with a declining and aging fanbase. Bigger then Big Bill could even dream of. And the sport isn't completely dead yet so at least Brian has 15 years of that now.
"Its basically rolling billboards-"
Irrelevent comment designed to be 'edgy'. This has been the case since the late 70's.
"And fixed outcomes ala WWE"
I dare somebody to find an example of NASCAR just straight up calling for a debris caution without there being "reports of debris" on the officials radio from the teams themselves, save for obvious stuff like bumpers or tires.
"NASCAR will make sure Jimmie never gets that 7th championship"
Right, because NASCAR rigged the 48 team to break yesterday.
"Clowns like Danica are there for ratings"
No, she is there because she brings sponsorship. No different from Maldonaldo, Menard, or hundreds of other drivers in the world.
"BTW that has failed"
See point above about ratings. You could put Earnhardt Sr. out there and ratings would naturally be down this year.
"And no names like the Dillon brothers have rides because their drunken POP POP owns the team"
Dale Earnhardt Jr. wouldn't be where he is without his father. Austin is also the only driver in the entire RCR family of cars next season to be a NASCAR champion, and off the top of my head one of only two drivers to hold championships in both the Xfinity series and the Truck series. I'd want Austin on my team over a lot of people in the garage.
