Contract the schedule, it's just too many races and honestly could use breaks. The NFL has multiple times considered 18 games and the players union and every consultant group they've hired have said no, no more games. You've hit the sweet spot where people want more but don't feel cheated, expansion will only saturate the market and producing declining returns; same things were listed for additional teams.
Nascar just have too many events and in some cases too long an event. Yes it is an attentions span thing but honestly some of the attention span is due to the options available. When you had 6 options there wasn't much to distract you, now everything is brought directly to you whenever you want it. I love baseball but similar to the long cautions, pitching changes constantly and the wasted time just takes too long and I'll find something else to do. Make some of the races 2/3 or even less of the current length, most cars aren't failing mechanically so longer isn't making it a tougher race so make it tougher by making it shorter and you have to earn your place at the front and push. And then the World (Coke or whoever next) 600 becomes more of the event it was before with cars failing and having to be driven to the end. And don't chase the cash of selling the event, it should be as it was for certain events and if NASCAR hasn't seen the response to Darlington on Labor Day weekend they are idiots. Well that's certain but makes them seem to be even crazier to ignore it
