@@Neqzi_ Safety has nothing to do with engine power. F1 generates an insane amount of power, while it's also incredibly safe, the FIA has a mandated set of safety regulations that all teams have to abide by and they're rigorously tested and checked to make sure nobody is cutting corners. This is how drivers survive 50G+ crashes in F1, it's not impossible for NASCAR to do the same. Let the teams innovate their own engines but make sure they're abiding by an appropriately written sets of safety regulations.

@Jaxboy86 Год назад

I believe when they took away brand competition is when the true downfall started. Once was a time when manufacturers built what they had and said "here we go". Best car wins. It created great competition between the big 3 (Mopar, Ford, Chevy). Then Dodge came out with something the other brands couldn't compete with (not Mopars fault). They got barred. From then on it killed the sport. We got cookie cutter cars. You couldn't buy the car you saw on race day anymore. Its called STOCK car racing. The stock has been removed. Its sad. Think of the cars we would have if it was left alone!

The reason nascar is dying is because they do it to themselves. First off they brought politics into nascar and alienated their original fans that are the main fuckin reason nascar even is where it is today. Then people don’t like the new cars especially when their just going to get worse because of emissions and shit like that. Then the fact that they changed racing in Daytona to racing in California that losses a lot of people off. Nascar is trying to appeal to the liberal/work market and their not very interested. Honestly I feel more bad for the fans then anything else.

I like the point system. It is much better than what we had in the 90s and early 00s where a champ was determined before the end of the season. I think it also does a good job of making sure drivers perform well in the playoffs but gives them a bit of a cushion so they aren't eliminated by dumb luck. I don't think there has been an undeserving champion or even an undeserving group of playoff drivers since the current point system was established.

@@JardTheRat I disagree. It's never fun to see a driver who is dominant get the shaft because of some DNFs caused by an unavailable wreck or part failure during th regular season, especially when they had multiple wins (look at Mark Martin in the early 90s). I think it makes sense that anyone with a win gets a shot in the playoffs. With the current playoffs every race matters. Can you still advance with a DNF? Yeah, but it means that you will have to win to get into the next round. I don't think it's dumb luck if the only way to recover from a bad race is to have to win one of the next two. In any case, the current playoff format has been working for years. There was a period with the Chase that really sucked and made no sense. I don't think people remember back to how anti climactic nascar seasons were in winston cup years.

I've been watching NASCAR since the mid 90s and watch every race unless I'm away and I agree with pretty much everything here. Stage racing has got to go, or at the very least remove the cautions. It ruins road course strategy. I also hate the winner take all finale. In some ways, the current format is an even more "fair" version of the chase for the cup but I really want to see the guy that dominates the season get the trophy. Champions are more memorable when they dominate a season and hoist the trophy. I was rooting for Larson last year to win just because I felt he deserved it the most. Like Nolan said, not every race needs to be a nail biter, and not every season championship needs to be one either. It makes the ones that are feel more special. They keep trying to re-create the magic of the 1992 season where 5 drivers had a shot at the title in the last race but nothing they do now can bring back that magic without letting it happen organically.

I also think nascar needs to lower the amount of races to increase the feeling of importance for each race. When you have 36 races it’s hard to commit to being passions about following every race for more than half the year. Series like F1, motoGP and super cross/motocross keep it a manageable 20. Also the races are too long. For tracks as simple as ovals, 400-500 laps is too many. Races should be kept to around 2hrs start to finish. This also gets rid of the need for stages and makes each lap and pass seem more important

I agree that NASCAR needs to let their drivers be free to express themselves because of how much it worked for F1. Even if F1 drivers are PR-polished, their personality and charisma is a huge part of what keeps F1 fans hyped, even during the winter breaks. It gives new fans reasons to support a particular driver or a team.

TheClamHammer half of the appeal of F1 is drama and politics outside the track. All that “check their rear wing this, penalize that” is giving additional context to the race itself. You start to care even about fights for P8, because you know the drivers, what they have to gain and lose in the fight, who’s being a sick and who need those 4 points more.

As an F1 fan and F1TV subscriber, I've started getting big into junior Formulas - F2 and F3 are fast cars and the kids are amazing.

I personally enjoy the variety, but I also get the traditionalists wanting to stay with what they are used to, especially when it comes points races. I’ve been watching since 2001, so I’ve seen the sport’s transformation through five distinct body styles, countless points systems, and hundreds of drivers. Honestly, you can’t make everyone happy, so I can’t blame them for wanting to appeal to a larger fanbase. Last year was a great season overall, and this year is starting off just as entertaining. I’m here for it.

@cameronshaw7294 2 года назад

Completely agree with the driver personality statement. Since F1 under liberty media, they’ve had the drivers doing other videos and really showing their personalities, hence why Ricardo isn’t the best driver on the track, but absolutely is one of the most loved drivers. Classic nascar had big personalities that people tuned in for every other week. The racing come second, it was the loose unit that was giving the interview that was the entertainment. And when they reeled them in and stoped letting the drivers have fun, it all went very beige.

The Gen 6 car did produce great racing when it's engine was unrestricted and they had small spoilers, but because of safety they slowed the cars down which made it boring.

Another big issue NASCAR is facing is the loss of small town dirt tracks. Getting people vested into their local dirt races will push them to go see the bigger touring series like the World of Outlaws sprint cars. When you can get a driver that can win a lot of races on and entice a lot of fan’s attention on dirt, 9 times out of 10 that fan base will follow. Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Larson, and Dave Blaney all started on dirt. They had a fan base, they had followers, they put butts in seats and eyes on TVs without the need of any sponsors or marketing department trying to make a name for them. But none of that can happen if there is no local racing community

@JonnyInTheRVA 2 года назад

I am a lifelong NASCAR fan. Nolan hit the nail on the head about the drivers. The sport severely lacks personalities. What made the most successful modern-era driver Jimmie Johnson so disrespected was his seemingly vanilla personality. However, when you hear stories you understand that he wasn't as such behind closed doors. The sponsorship money drives the sport but keeps the drivers on a short leash. NASCAR needs to let these guys be themselves. The boomers praise Dale to the moon, but back in the day, the gritty personalities were there right along with Dale. In the social media age, we should be seeing these drivers in a more realistic light than only under a media scrum half-scripted interview wearing a firesuit in the middle of the day. The Bubba Wallace doc on Netflix was a good start, like him or not. It showed a human side to him and Denny. We got to hear them uncensored. We got to know Bubba. A docuseries just like F1 has would be great for the rest of the garage. But the sponsorship leash really just needs to be let go. It's 2022, and we know that nobody is perfect. These drivers shouldn't have to walk on eggshells for their sponsors and be bland vanilla personalities that the layperson can tell apart. Give us characters, that's what people latch on to. Characters and story. Hey Hailie Deegan, NASCAR needs a Metal Mulisha lol. That might be a good start.

@gatling216 2 года назад

The Gen 7 car convinced me to give NASCAR a second chance this season, and aside from being boring at short tracks, it’s otherwise done a really good job. Racing is fun again. Plus, this new generation of driver seems to be a massive step up over the last generation too. I don’t mind rooting for Briscoe or Reddick or Chastain, because they drive their butts off every week and they seem like cool dudes. It was hard to get invested in drivers like Hamlin or Logano, except when someone got tired of them and punted them into the wall. NASCAR is doing a lot right this year, but I think they could make the largest immediate improvement with the broadcast. Having Clint Boyer and a rotating herd of guest announcers in the booth works well enough, though they could stand to be a little more animated, personality wise. The commentary is interesting and adds some needed perspective, with Boyer’s driver experience bouncing off the guest. But the program itself doesn’t feel all that exciting. There’s no hype. No drama. What you see on the track is what you get, and they don’t do a great job of zeroing in on the action there.

In F1 it feels like there are maybe five drivers with a decent chance, and everyone else is just there to give the top teams a rolling roadblock to get around. If they could make the field more competitive, with more drivers and teams in contention for the win, I’ll happily give F1 another go.

I started watching in the late 80's and through into the early 2,000's I stepped away from the sport because of the boring nature. I'm a huge IMSA and F1 fan so NASCAR couldn't match the excitement. I have watched a couple of races this year out of curiosity of the new cars. I like the advancements and have actually enjoyed the races I watched. Go to any social media post and you will see the complaints of not being "what it used to be". For me being complacent leads to boredom. As far as viewership that's a problem for NASCAR.

I'll take stage racing without cautions. I know they use it as a TV timeout, and thanks to your research I now understand how valuable commercials are to the sport, but they should just award the points and keep going. I like the playoffs. I don't think it needs to be like every other racing series. It's an American sport and Americans love playoffs. They've been using some form of this format for 18 years now (since 2004). Living in Florida, I've always been able to go to the first and last event of the year, and heading into Homestead knowing who's already won the championship was boring. Even though Kurt hasn't won the championship since 04, I still enjoyed going because I didn't know who was going to get crowned that night. My biggest gripe with NASCAR is commercials during racing. No other sport cuts away when action is going on. They need to figure out how to never interrupt green flag laps. I don't need to see the same cycle of commercials every break, week in and week out.

@MrGimmethreesteps 2 года назад

Interesting observations Nolan made. Being from North Carolina, the heart of NASCAR, I believe NASCAR needs to bring racing back home. Growing up my dad, uncle, and granddad had NASCAR on the TV every Sunday afternoon. We knew every driver. I had all the diecast cars, hats, and T-shirts. Today none of us even know the driver's names. Here are a few observations I have. 1.) This stage racing has to go. It is pointless. You might as well just make the race only 75 laps long if you are going to have the stages. 2.) They need to reopen the tracks they have in the South. NASCAR is a 1000x more fun in person than it is watching on TV. There used to be tracks all across the South and now they are dwindling in exchange for locations where no one cares about NASCAR, such as LA and Texas. Sure they may not make as much money off ticket sales vs broadcasting fees, but it amps the fans up. If you can attend 2-5 races a year you will guaranteed be watching on TV every week to see how the series plays out. 3.) They constantly turn their back on their fans. There have been multiple instances in the last 5 years, where they promoted certain political agendas that were in direct contradiction with their core fans. They need to just stay out of politics. I used to go to one race a year, but after the BLM riots and Bubba Wallace debacle I stopped going.

I grew up watching NASCAR and never missed a race from the mid 80’s until the mid 2000’s. I still go regularly to local short track races and have become a huge fan of IMSA. However, Nascar has become so vanilla it is hard to root for the drivers and the cars all look the same. It is genuinely hard for the average person to even recognize which cars are which. When you watch IMSA, there is no doubt which car is a Corvette , Porsche, BMW, or Lexus and the real stars are the cars themselves. I think back to the late 80’s and NASCAR had 5 or 6 manufacturers and the cars all resembled the cars sold at the dealership. How much better would it be to see nascar running modified versions of the gt4 camaro’s, mustang’s, and Supra’s than the homologous abomination they run now?

@extragoogleaccount6061 2 года назад

The new cars for this year actually look like the models they represent. I believe the manufactures provide the body panels (or at least the "molds"). But yea, the late 90s and 2000s cars didnt really resemble the models they were based on, and then the "Car of Tomorrow" was basically a single standard car. But they decided to move away from that. And, - not trying to talk down on you or anything , just thought you might find it interesting - I gotta mention that the cars from the 70's and 80's (that you said looked like the showroom models) were actually custom built race cars with a couple body panels that looked like the car. NASCAR found out very quickly that racing actual stock cars - on ovals at least - was insanely dangerous and not having drivers die every weekend would require dropping the truly "stock" part. So once teams (or individual drivers back in the day) were building their own engines and roll cages/cockpits, it just made more sense for them to build the race car and then just the body onto it with some simularities to the car model. I'm pretty glad they've gone back to having different cars now. I hope some more manufacturers join to keep mixing it up!

Stage racing either needs to go, or the stages needed to split so that there’s a pit stop in each stage, the stages are boring when no one needs to pit. Honestly the second stage is usually just riding around too. Stage 3 vs stage 2 the racing is completely different. If the tracks can survive without fans in the stands, the teams need a bigger piece of the money, too many rich kids paying for seats in the sport, the tracks need to be penalized somehow for not selling out and promoting the races, the way to do this is to stop giving them so much guaranteed money. If the teams can afford to pay talent instead of provide a seat for someone with money, the racing will be better as well. The gen 7 car is awesome, there’s still a few kinks to work out, like the short track racing seems to have suffered, the diffuser probably needs to come off for short tracks and they probably need to run the 750 engines on short tracks, but it’s nothing that can’t be fixed. The mile and half racing is phenomenal though. Which is what we needed, the teams and OEMs going to nascar and getting rid of the high downforce low horsepower package needed to happen and it paid off. The sport is on an upswing right now, will it ever get to where it was? I don’t know, but it’s getting better. I go back and watch nascar races on RU-vid sometimes and the 2004 Bristol night race is absolutely electric, 160,000 fans, 43 cars, the lights, the speed, sparks flying, concrete surface, pissed off drivers.

@@fkim8449 NASCAR through the past couple years has been pretty boring to watch for the reasons listed in this video.

There were several position changes through out the race 4-5 per lap on a 1/4 mile track). During the last lap the number three passed the lead on the last turn and won the race. To me that was good racing. I had no idea who was going to win and I could watch the entire race in person.
