These Are The Reasons Why NASCAR Is Losing Fans

Even before the recent political turmoil in the sport, NASCAR was hemorrhaging fans and supporters, with viewership numbers dropping every event.

OK... I'll admit it. In the 1990s when I was younger, I was glued to my TV every Sunday for Nascar. I'm not a red-neck but there were a group of us who would get a pony keg and sit on the back porch watching races. Great fun.

I've even been to a couple races: Bristol, Vegas, Texas,...


I lost interest when more and more rules changes became part of the system and historical tracks were cut and then completely stopped watching when Jimmy Johnson took over the sport and won like 5 titles in row starting 2005. It just pissed me off that, inspite of all the new rules, Johnson and Knaus still found ways to cheat (well not officially cheating but bending the rules).


Also, when they stopped the beating and banging on the track and off the track (loved pit fights), it became too conservtive and controlled.


Hardly ever watch now.

I think nobody want's to watch cars going around the same circle for hours anymore.

I tried to get into Nascar and even F1, at least for the sake of betting but I just can't. Maybe live but even drag races at Moroso in Florida were fun live.

Watching it at home, even with a bet on it is brutally boring.

Years ago when I was younger I used to like it but not as much lately

Nascar and indycar - easiest sports to win at

can’t wait to go to the Indy 500 as usual, greatest spectacle in racing
