NASCAR Admits Mistakes; Looks To Return To Roots In 2021
As a former NASCAR enthusiast there are encouraging points made in this article, but also there was a statement made that isn't all that encouraging: “I know we been accused of manufacturing drama. I’m ok, as long as there’s drama". That statement isn't going to win any fans back, especially the fans that remember how good it was prior to the gimmicks and manufactured drama. And, this guy doesn't address, or even mention, how detrimental all the silly gimmicks have been to NASCAR popularity.
I guess we need to expect incremental steps back to racing as is should be and what made NASCAR the preeminent form of racing in the world. It's very doubtful they will win people back if they leave the stupid gimmicks in place but we can hope they eliminate them gradually.
Steps in the right direction are better than no steps at all, I reckon.
