NASCAR has been trying to capture a new fanbase for a long time now. The corporate types running the organization openly hate the people who grew up watching the sport. Pretty similar to what Marvel comics has been doing actually.
Of course, all this has done is alienate their actual audience without gaining a significant number of new people. The sport has greatly declined by every metric in the last 20 years.
They are coasting on their TV deal, and like almost all corp execs, are not thinking past their next bonus check. They don't seem to understand that the TV deal offer won't be anywhere near as big as their current one when it comes up for renewal.
I never liked NASCAR anyway, because who likes ovals? I was always more of a road course sort of person. I loved the old IMSA prototype/GT/GTP series, and Trans-Am.
Way to cater to your fan base. Pretty sad that people still see Floyd as some saint

I love oval racing. But fuck NASCAR.
