NASCAR television ratings dropping...
I'm sorry I thought this was the United States of America...
How could it be possible that NASCAR TV ratings are dropping..?
Perhaps President Trump can fill us in on why
Did somebody disrespect the Flag..?

Re: NASCAR television ratings dropping...
This one has been in the mail for a long time-
NASCAR made a concerted effort 25 years ago to distance itself from its southern bootlegger roots- and in the process it alienated its base a good while back. Nobody noticed because nobody cared what the Appalachians thought
For a while NASCAR began to draw the coastal and western middle-upper class fans, but that is a fickle crowd- they'd as soon watch F1 or Indy
The key to look at isn't why the southern base abandoned NASCAR (because that already happened)
NASCAR should look at why theyre losing the younger, higher class fans they drew in in the last 25 years

Re: NASCAR television ratings dropping...
We've gone over this ad nauseam for years. CID captured much of it.
The elephant in the room though is the Earnhardt family tree. Dale Sr was NASCAR, but he died in Feb 2001. His son was supposed to pick up the baton and run with it, but his career was a miserable flop, and now he's retired as a championship-contending driver (as of last Sunday). I would estimate that nearly 50% of all NASCAR fans are Dale Jr fans. He missed a large part of last season with a concussion and failed to win a race or make the playoffs this year. That kills ratings, especially for the playoffs, which are nearly 30% of the schedule.
Meanwhile, NASCAR has thrown every gimmick they can think of into the points system, race format, and playoff format to the point that it has cheapened the whole thing tremendously. Honestly, one of the draws for me to F1 is that they still run a true championship. No gimmicky playoff bullshit. The guy who runs the best all year is champion. That only happens maybe 20% of the time in NASCAR.
Cue 89 to come in and say he told us all so, even though we had already been saying all of this over and over. Then he'll cherry-pick some old quotes to twist what was said.
NASCAR right now is in great financial shape because of very fortuitous long-term TV deals they've signed with NBC and Fox. When those run out (Fox after 2020 and NBC after 2023), they have a rude reckoning coming.

Those uppity white people are fickle

But that's just me... I'm sure it's nuanced as hell

Re: NASCAR television ratings dropping...
I don't hate NASCAR. I've actually been to the race in Vegas. It was really exciting with the flyover and build up to the start. Then everyone puts on their headphones to figure out whose actually in the lead. Haven't seen that much dyed leather since Grizo showed me his Air Jordan collection.Jjoey52 wrote:Haters gotta hate.

This was my point that you didn't like. I said they lost me and you basically replied with a "who cares?".CID1990 wrote:NASCAR should look at why theyre losing the younger, higher class fans they drew in in the last 25 years

NASCAR would go a long way toward restoring the sport if they reopened N Wilkesboro and Rockingham and shut down any number of the 1.5 mile tracks that put people to sleep.

Do you remember gloating about the NFL's television rating declining...
Ultimately each SPORT will have to market directly to their clientele outside of cable offerings
Because Cable TV providers are losing subscribers pretty quickly
and looming Net Neutrality nonsense ain't helping cable companies grow subs
In 5 years
Each sport will have to offer seasonal streaming packages just like HBO
the projected dollars and numbers are fascinating
MLB seasonal package looks like $119 Regular season
$149 including playoffs and WS
NFL seasonal package $159
$29 playoffs
$19 Superbowl
Hockey seasonal package $89
Playoffs and Stanley $29
NBA seasonal package $109
Playoffs and finals $29
Tennis Season (Australian Open thu Wimbledon to US open) $99
ESPN is considering offering a full NCAA Division one Football season deal
This would look something like all top 25 games plus your favorite team for $179
NCAA Football playoffs $49
Remember all Cable contracts have to Expire first
Including Comcast / Time Warner and Verizon as well as Direct TV
The first available moment for any of this to happen in 2020
