NASCAR really started blowing it with the Bubba Wallace noose hoax a couple years ago, banning Confederate flags at tracks, etc. My buddies and I used to get together at one of their shops on the weekends when the races were on network TeeVee, have some beers and be guys. They're driving away the most dedicated fans with their woke delusions.
The season starts in mid February with Daytona and it's not looking too promising. Rednecks don't take too well to this high falutin' bullshit.
I remember the flag ban only too well -- demigod Earnhardt was zero help. What's going to save NASCAR from a woke extinction like some other institutions?

I dunno. NASCAR's developed a nasty predilection for stepping on the rake with every step they take. They really screwed the pooch when they walked away from the "Let's Go Brandon" franchise which they OWNED! That had to have cost them billions, now any joker can make their own products, and thousands have.
I know very few people who don't have some kind of LGB/FJB merch. When my sister showed up before Christmas she was wearing a LGB sweatshirt. So many people are sending me that stuff, I've got all four seasons covered.
Maybe NASCAR's next genius move will be to ban LGB/FJB apparel at their race tracks like they did with the Confederate flags. Do you know where most of NASCAR's tracks are? Do you know how much race tickets cost? It ain't cheap. Yeah, alienate all those guys. Sounds like a solid business model. Maybe they can fill the stands with the purple hair set, that never buys anything, or they can give tickets to all of Bidet's precious wetbacks.
Woka Cola might be able to get away with those antics, but I don't know anybody that spends near a thousand bucks/person on a weekend of pop drinking like it costs to attend a NASCAR race. They're throwing billions of dollars away. You'd almost think NASCAR was part of Bidet's Build Back Better Bullshit.
I'm glad you liked it. Thank you. I'm not much of of a sports fan, but I've gotta get out of the house sometimes and hangin' out with the buds for a race is a good excuse and a lot of fun.
My interest in racing stems from my love of cars and machines in general. I don't care a whole lot for IndyCar or F1 much, it's just way too hoity-toity for a Hoosier hayseed like me. Having an Associate's degree in automotive technology is part of it too.
Those NASCAR race cars are pretty to look at on the toob, but if you get close enough to one, you'd wonder how anybody has the stones to get in one and tool around at 200mph in close formation with the other cars. They're pretty cheesy, I was doing better work when I was twelve. They're definitely built for function, not form.
Don't get me wrong, those things are only supposed to last for a 600mi race at best. They've got to be stripped down and completely rebuilt after every race. The only really well built major part is the frame/cage that everything else hooks to. As long as those don't get bent, they're probably good for several races.
The last couple of years have been one of great loss for just about everyone and everything. NASCAR shouldn't be any different I suppose, but Jesus, they're going well above and beyond the call of duty. Dumbasses.
