There are a lot of empty seats at every race nowadays, as much as the cameras try to not show it,
1. The cars have zero charisma, compare to IMSA sports cars
2. The racing is actually not even interesting
3. Daytona, their flagship race is really bad
4. Their fan base probably is having Trumpian income problems, so they cannot afford to go to the races
I only watch the last 20 laps, just to see who wins
The driver are all Rethugs, except for Keswolski,
Not only that, They are all infected by being religious extremist believers, and every post race interview involves every driver invoking their religious beliefs, I can't watch that any longer
Liberty University sponsors one driver, who just graduated from that Madrasa
The Confederate Flags in the in field are a real turn off
The demographics the same
At Talledega, the announcers were talking about Jimmie Johnson's performance or lack of, so the camera was put on their pit box top to show the crew chief, mind you this was on pit row, the area surrounding them is restricted, behind the crew chief , in the background was a Confederate flag flying, they had 2 shots of that, somebody in the TV control both figured it out, the next shot was at a different angle, so that the flag was not visible
And again, the demographics are a real turnoff
Sports Car racing and Indy Cars are really interesting, the cars have massive charisma, the racing is fantastic, the demographics are educated, intelligent people, no fucking religion
They race on road courses
No comparison
I am a long time race fan, saw Earnhardt win his first championship at the old Ontario track, saw NASCAR race at Riverside
