NASCAR Lookin' To Regain Fan Base
Ran across this article on Forbes website. Looks like NASCAR is going to make some fairly significant alterations to their business model. Even left the door open to run a Cup race or two on dirt. Really hope that happens and it takes place at one of the remaining 1 mile dirt tracks. My hopes are selfish since three of them that are left are within 3 hours of our house and they all three can produce great racing. ARCA, for many years has been putting on some of the best racing of their season at Springfield & Du Quoin, Illinois.
The most needed changes, however, were not asked about or mentioned. That being the silly stage racing and chase. Gonna' be hard to get the real race fans back (if that's even possible) without doing away with all of the gimmick's. Gotta' make the championship formula much easier to understand for the casual fan. I hope they come up with a winning combination 'cause something has to give or NASCAR as we know it will be dead when the present TV deal goes away.
