Toyota didn't bring down NASCAR's popularity. Only the the ignorant, arrogant, pro "MURICA'" people in parts of the deep south did not like Toyota. What has dropped NASCAR'S popularity was the fact that the amount of NASCAR races on network television (ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX) has decreased. 2007 was the first year of the new television contracts with FOX, TNT, and ESPN, before, all of the races used to be on FOX and NBC. Take F1 racing for example, when on NBCSN, for an encore presentation of an early morning race or live coverage of a 8am race, viewership averages around 500,000 to 1 million people. When the races are put on NBC, the viewership is about 1-5 million I believe. Also, the Gen 5 cars were not a favorite among fans due to boring races being produced from them at times. Drops in fan attendance have been caused by economical problems.

That's exactly what I did. I gave an opinion on what I thought would fix the sport, then defended it. I didn't use an emotional plea, I merely asked you to accept that not everyone thinks the same way you do. You don't appear to be a very tolerant person.

I know not everyone thinks the way I do. But people also don't have issue debating an opinion either and then boil it down to "well it's my opinion so there shouldn't be a debate to begin with". It's a forum and that's bollocks if you think that way.


I backed them up. It was just an opinion. Anything getting through?

You back up an opinion with rhetoric that was stated in fact, people are obviously going to challenge that. Quit with the tantrum and saying "is this getting through, do you get it yet" I'm not stupid and haven't said and neither are you. But if you're going to make claims people will ask you to back them up. The fact is you can't prove how the things you want will fix NASCAR, nor can you pinpoint that they were the reason NASCAR was in a boom to begin with. If you can then provide evidence as AUP suggests. An opinion is saying "I think less oval tracks may help NASCAR", not "Toyota being introduced caused a decline in viewership".


Your claim that he left JGR "because he owned a Chevy dealership" is a joke. Anyone who bought a car from his dealership, who knew who Tony was, would know he was just a driver at JGR. He had no control and no say over the manufacturer switch.
Click to expand...

Once again you're stating an opinion as fact, I'm sure it'd be safe to say that there were people buying from his dealership without knowing who the hell he was. However, those who did know him may have done ignorant things like question is reasoning if he had stayed with JGR while supporting Chevy. That ignorance is the same type you stated yourself for those who hated a foreign make in NASCAR. So not sure why you're allowed some double standard. Also whoever said he had control over the manufacture switch?

Now if he formed SHR where he had control over what manufacturer the team raced, and fielded Toyotas while he still had the Chevy dealership, your point may have made sense.
Click to expand...

No not really, because people tend to question with ignorant notions as you once again demonstrated. Thus it wasn't good for his image, also recall that I never disagreed with you about him disliking Toyota, it quite obvious. I just said provide evidence if you plan to state facts.

FYI, Rick Hendrick owns Chrysler/Dodge & Toyota dealerships, among his many others. Owning a dealership of a competing manufacturer in NASCAR is not the big deal you claim it to be.
Click to expand...

Yeah Rick Hendrick is a business man not a driver, and he has a longer history than Tony of his allegience to Chevy. As seen in NASCAR as well as helping with the late 80s early 90s prototype Vette and other racing ventures with GM/Chevy, yet I'm sure there'd be someone out there questioning him too if they didn't know this and saw him make a switch.

Also, you never provided any sources to back up your claim either. Practice what you preach.
Click to expand...

Cause I never said that was the exact reasoning, I said it was a probable cause. Why would I have to back up a hypothetical claim that is obviously suggesting? You obviously don't do this too much.

Then your speculation was I could claim I "liked Toyota while Stewart drove one" is wrong. Never made such claim.
Click to expand...

I know you didn't that why I said you could, even after you type it out you still don't see it has being a hypothetical notion...


See, you did care.

Again, all I did was gave an opinion on what I would do to turn the sport around. Many others did it, as it is what the thread was about before you derailed it trying to tell me my opinions were wrong.
Click to expand...

How is it a derail to ask you why that would actually fix the sport? If it was such a big issue a mod would have told us to get this back on track. Yet that isn't the case, and it's a forum yet again. Not a blog for you to post what you think and expect no one to reply.

What I said NASCAR needs to do is no more or less likely to happen than the other suggestions in this thread. (Re-arranging the whole schedule, eliminating tracks, adding a bunch of other manufacturers, holding races outside the US, etc.) So you can rest easy.
Click to expand...

I never said they were going to happen because you said so :lol:. I'm quite fine I just enjoy arguing opinion that I find asinine if you have an issue with that ignore me, then report me and then see where it goes from there. But I'll put you at ease knowing that I've done nothing wrong. The only issue now is you just don't like someone pressing you to stand up for your opinion/suggestions
 
I would like the cars to appear closer to their showroom counterparts. The gen 6 cars are a step in the right direction in terms of looking like the real vehicle, but theres still alot of room for improvement. All 3 makes still look too similar behind the nose. The cars are still too 'cookie cutter'

Allow different engine solutions instead of the same old same old V8. Surely this would attract more manufacturers. Lets see some V6 engines and turbos too. Can you imagine the chaos if a Turbo V6 powered Honda Civic won a NASCAR race?

Cut back on the commercials. Its 2014. Personally I DVR the races now and start watching them about an hour after the race starts so I can skip all the commercials. Im sure others do the same, rendering commercials pointless. Side by side is not a solution, I hate listening to commercials when watching a race in a tiny box. Its like listening to a loud salesman and trying to watch the race at the same time. Extremely annoying.

Only thing I can imagine is how impossible it would be... they've always been V8's, and engines have to be balanced. Not a good move.

It's gone beyond a debate. I gave an opinion and you questioned it, no problem there. The problem is I explained said opinion, you dismiss any explanation I give as rhetoric, while spouting claims you can't back up. If I try to refute them, you label them as "hypothetical". Hilarious at first, getting pretty old by now and going no place fast.

I backed it up with what I've seen at the track in person the year Toyota entered the sport, and the following year when JGR made the switch. Toyota's presence pissed off fans, saw it first hand. It's not rhetoric as you keep claiming. I also explained that it has since subsided, but it did indeed have some initial impact.

There are multiple opinions given in this thread, if you haven't noticed. Nobody else can prove their ideas will fix NASCAR either. They just gave their opinions, as did I.

It is fact, and there you go again with your hypothetical claims. Tony had no say over the manufacturer switch at JGR, thus he backed out of his contract early and left because he didn't like the switch, as I proved. Obviously there is no problem owning a competing dealership as you claimed. Stop your speculation on that it was just because of his Chevy dealership.

Hendrick owns the biggest Chevy team in NASCAR, but it's ok for him to own competing dealerships because he is not a driver? Tony's allegiance to Chevy goes back long before he came to the Cup level or even NASCAR. Obviously the relationship hasn't been as long as Rick's, somehow that makes it ok for Rick and not for Tony? Yet again you make no sense.

Difference is Rick has the power to switch his team's manufacturer if he wanted, Tony was only a driver at JGR and had no power over the switch, he does so now at SHR.

Cause I never said that was the exact reasoning, I said it was a probable cause. Why would I have to back up a hypothetical claim that is obviously suggesting? You obviously don't do this too much.

I stood up for my opinions. What I don't care for is someone like yourself who dismisses any explanation I give as rhetoric. Then badger me for days to to explain my opinions when I already have, while you can't seem to provide anything but "hypothetical" claims of your own.

I don't believe I have anyone on my ignore list but it looks like you may be the first very soon.

How so is this personal now, is your pride somehow on the line now? Cause to me it's still a debate and has been since the start. Me oh my this has escalated quickly. What claims didn't I back up? I've given sufficient explanation. I wasn't the one who claimed that a reset to late 90s early 00s NASCAR would be the best for the sport because Winston was the title sponsor and there were none of those dirty Japanese Toyota (paraphrasing obviously).

I claim it as rhetoric because it is. Where are viewership numbers differences between then and now. Can you show me a dip in ticket sales and viewing of races that falls in line with Toyota joining the series? More so if you think you can can you directly correlate it to Toyota and say not something else that started during the same time like the Chase format or COT being used? A few "fans" at a single race isn't proof it's conjecture and doesn't speak for a majority unless shown otherwise.

Also are you going to kick and scream because I gave a probable claim that is obviously suggesting, cause you seem sore? Also if you are so sure that I've made a claim that needs proof because I'm stating it as fact then report me and let the mods investigate it because I've broken AUP.

Also I couldn't be less concerned if I end up on your ignore list. You even saying it to threaten me is hilarious. You should have put me on it several post back.

It's not personal, never said it was. Pride isn't hurt either. Also never stated that you violated the AUP or that I was going to report you, so why the need to keep bringing that up? If you want a debate, you need to learn to provide actual statements with something to back it up, not spout hypotheticals like "Well you could say..." or "This might have happened...".

You want proof of a dip in ticket sales, go back & watch some races. You'll notice a heck of a lot of people dressed as empty seats. As I mentioned more than once, it has since subsided, as fans have realized that they are powerless to do anything about it. Much as I or anyone else in this thread are powerless to carry out their proposed changes to the sport. Also, it wasn't "just a few fans at a single race", it happened the whole season. Witnessed it first hand at the races I went to that year, as well as on the internet. Oh, but witnessing something first hand to you is rhetoric. :rolleyes:

You don't mind being on my ignore list? Well, Congratulations! You're the first one on it. While I would love to continue this "debate", or whatever you may call it, my spare time is limited this week and I've already spent too much time going nowhere with you. Your "debating" skills were good for more than a few laughs from me, however.

I wasn't using it as a threat either, not sure where you got that from. I realize by putting you on ignore, you are likely to claim victory here and I'm cool with that. What did you win? You haven't changed my opinion on how to fix the sport, all you did was start up a "debate" using your hypothetical claims and dismissed anything I said as rhetoric in an effort to weasel out of refuting it. I should have done it sooner, that may be the first correct statement you gave in this thread. So go ahead, claim victory, I'm ok with "letting the baby have his bottle".
 
You two done shouting? I'm still trying to figure out what BOTH of you were saying. Don't tell me, I want to figure it out myself.
 
I forgot to add something to my list of things I wanted to change in Nascar, find it on the bottom of the 1st page. It is really necessary.

As I read through the posts, I envisioned a Top Gear argument between Hammond and Clarkson. Not sure who was which though.

Alas, all I came away with was a massive headache. I think I'll leave it alone.

Then you obviously didn't get it and it's kind of insulting to deduce it to that level, since they're usually not serious when they debate such topics and it's all satire mostly, for humor.

It's quite bigoted for someone to say let's get rid of Toyota cause their foreign and they have no place in NASCAR.

I apologize for the TG comparison. And you are right on the Toyota deal, I did understand that far. Once it started into twisting words, I lost the point.
 
My ways to restore NASCAR's credibility and fanbase:

1 (and the most important). Kick Brian France and Robin Pemberton out of their posts immediately and ban them and their families and friends from ever getting near the sport again, including attending races. 👍
2. Eliminate the Chase. No explanation required.
3. Cut the schedule to 29 races per year which will completely eliminate several cookie cutter tracks. Also, there will be less night races, more road courses, and earlier start times. *schedule will come upon request*
4. Give Goodyear an ultimatum: Make a race tire that doesn't suck or leave the sport forever and a tire company with a good reputation will take your place.
5. Loosen the restrictions on what the teams can and can't do to the cars. (no gear rule, any spoiler angle between 45-70 degrees except at restrictor plate tracks)
6. No more phantom debris cautions will be thrown just because the chosen driver is having problems or somebody has too big of a lead.
7. Eliminate all the kiddie rules (free pass, wave around, etc.)
8. Reduce the length of certain races by 15-25% while cutting ticket prices by the same amount.

*Optional* Eliminate pit road speed limits. No pit crew members will be allowed over the wall until the car has come to a complete stop in the stall. Under caution, only half of the cars will be allowed to pit at a time (odd # pit stalls one lap, even # pit stalls the next) to reduce injuries. In addition, the pace car will run anywhere from 5-15 mph faster depending on the length of the track.

Hmm...

1. At this point, and maybe it's due to a growing indifference, but I'm starting to think Brian France, Robin Pemberton, and Mike Helton aren't the main catalyst for everything.
2. No argument either.
3. 2 at Daytona and each short track, and I'm good with it.
4. These cars are supposed to be strong, an empty water bottle shouldn't hurt them.
5. Ehhhh...I think the two you named can stay. I can't think of any others, so they could go.
6. Sounds good.
7. Agreed, but bump up the pace car too. 60 MPH shouldn't be a problem.

Unfortunately, I don't think anything that has been said would be enough. I'm thinking that the wave NASCAR was riding crashed mid-2000s, and the foam is just now clearing away enough to see what's happening.

Still, it's nice to think about.
 
I can't speak for everyone, but I find a lot of the races unnecessarily long.

More road courses would be great - having the Sprint Cup at Road America would be ideal. I don't think Sonoma is the most ideal track to be honest.

Road America wants a Cup race, and has been in talks with Nascar trying to land a Sprint Cup race for 2015. Haven't heard anything about it in months however.

I don't mind the races being as long as they are, but wouldn't mind shorter races either. If they are shortened, I would hope they would cut ticket prices, but I don't see that happening.
