And then they are going to have the same race again and have another winner on the same day!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milwaukee mike Posted September 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 That's because Formula One is actually have a race. NASCAR is having an advertising event. they are both full of ads, on the track and on the cars, although nascar is more blatant with it nascar has become unbettable though because almost no books are clear with their rules about post-race inspection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NASCAR runs a race every week and two at each place each year and 2/3s of the cars are just driving in circles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NASCAR runs a race every week and two at each place each year and 2/3s of the cars are just driving in circles. nascar usually runs 3 (truck/xfinity/monster) each week formula 1 also has f2 and f3 i think nascar has 35 races for the main series, and f1 has 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always Call Heads Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 I guess NASCAR was really a victim to its own popularity. Back in the day, you could have a race each week because there was no cable TV and you only read the results in the newspaper so each race seemed like a big deal because you had to go there to see it. Now everything is on TV and it is so boring they literally cut to commercial at any point because it really doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racing is a spectacle. They took away all the spectacle. F! has maintained the spectacle because it is the only race that country is going to see pretty much the whole year so they have reason to come out and watch it. At least that is my perception. If NASCAR ran 21 races, they would have a lot more people. If they had 12, they would be sold out every race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always Call Heads Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Old school also, like the old points system, not this stupid playoff BSYeah, the other sports have playoffs because the people are interested in the playoffs. NASCAR tries to have playoffs because nobody cares. A NASCAR playoff is laugh out loud funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdalert447 Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Only gonna get worse for NASCAR as they “take a gradual shift on gun advertisers.” Another sports giant pissing off half (probably more) of it’s fan base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
