They have lost their collective minds if they think that running the Charlotte race on an infield road-course, inside of the oval will attract more than a small number of fans! For the last few years that race has had problems drawing fans! It's attendance has suffered! Whoa Boy, they ain't seen NOTHING of low attendance, as they will see when they try to pull off this hair-brained, IDIOT scheme! Attendance and likely, tv viewership, will be going down the tubes, BIG TIME! This whole thing is going to fall LAT ON IT'S FACE! This statement, “I think a lot of it had to do with what we’ve heard from the fans over a period of time,” is one of the standard lines that NASCAR uses, when they want to pass off one of their bad ideas. There is VERY little chance that they talked to any fans! Or, if they did, they are IGNORING what they've been told by fans! This is just another case of Brian France wanting to do something, that makes NO SENSE and then trying to pass it off like the fans want it! If truth be known, the answer that he/they got from most stock car racing fans was "Not only no, but HELL NO!" But that doesn't deter Brian France from what HE wants to do and his to Hell with the fans attitude! HOPEFULLY, sanity will return to the 2019 schedule! |
I would have thought that Daytona or Indianapolis would have been better candidates for road course races, and they could have moved the All Star race to some where else.
With regards to NASCAR's fan consultations, I read an article that suggested the fans chosen were likely to be "YES" men, and unlikely to commit "actions detrimental to stock car racing"; and that the questions they were asked were highly loaded along the lines of "if you had to be shot in the legs, would you prefer the right leg, left leg, or both legs?"
