I'll boycott NASCAR just like I boycott Levi's. Which is to say I can't because I haven't paid attention to any of that gay crap in years. So you’re saying you use to indulge in the gay crap?

Pretty soon they’ll have a LGBT 🏳️🌈 500 Race.

In the 1990's NASCAR became a trend, not sure why, but Jeff Gordon with his California image, young and pretty, helped that immensely.
He helped bring in the young trendy, the women. NASCAR, like NFL, always trying to boost income before the product or the fans, catered to that line.
Make racing clean, get rid of the Redneck tracks that only $old a few thousant $eat$. Forget about those gearheads that were long term fans, that understood what it took to slug it out for a whole season, trying to finish in the top every week.
Change the rules, make it like a ball sport. People can ignore it all year, hype the playoffs cash in.
Trends change.
Those cityfied preppy (aged myself) heterosexuals have some new fad. And many old fans just don't GAF anymore.
NASCAR took a right turn (to the left) almost 30 years ago. And every effort to improve attendance seems to be another turn in the wrong direction.
Bill Senior was a good old boy, a racer. He knew the deal. Jr, grew up at daddies knee, he learned, the fans were his people too.
My guess, the yahoo's who have been calling the shots, The grandson of a billionaire.
They don't hang with the true hillbilly fans. They are with the $500k motorcoach fans, the rich wannabe Rednecks.
The show has been tailored to those fans.

The last sports I took an interest in were the NHL and pro cycle racing. Then the NHL got rid of fighting and Lance Armstrong took down bike racing. Now I'd rather be outdoors doing something than watching any overpaid millionaires who don't really GAF or try every week. I remember when Al Kaline was the first Tiger to make $100,000. The man could hit for average or power and covered right field like few could. There are very few people in MLB today who are millionaires who could carry his jockstrap.

I remember the "Fans Against Gordon" (F. A. G.) flags flying at Talladega down in the camping area for a couple of years. The rumors about him getting arrested while trolling for companionship on the Sunset Strip and NASCAR covering it up just might have been true! Jerry

I always wanted to go to the night race at Bristol in the old days (80s for me). I only ever made it to Michigan Speedway a few times.

When they covered Bristol with dirt and ran the Super Modified cars on it, things really got interesting. They turned lap speeds almost as fast as the NASCAR guys do. Jerry

Only been to nascar once. Atlanta about 10 years ago. The Friday night truck race was great. Saturday Busch race was good too. Sunday Winston / Nextel. Whatever. Was rained out. Didnt get to stay for Monday. Great time. I’m sure nascar of today, just 10 years later isn’t the same.

When I walk into an establishment that has a NASCAR race on, I watch to get a glimpse of the grand stands to see how empty they are. NASCAR don't draw them like they used to.

They figure their fan base will never leave, so now they pander to those who are not big fans of NASCAR, typical, schitt on those who got you their.

I bailed when It stopped being Winston Cup. I lived in between Darlington and Rockingham. We went to all four races every year. We had two converted school buses we pulled in the infield that we stayed in and platforms on the tops to watch the race from. With all the super speedways coming on the schedule and the sport being taken over by yuppies the writing was on the wall.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.
