Read an article about a week ago about the death of NASCAR and thought it was a little silly, but then realized it's true.
The death of NASCAR is about the drivers. The money and fame in the sport (seen in IMSA too); is about grooming rich daddy's kid into a likeable, well spoken, and health addicted driver. The drivers used to be "the fanbase" where they made mistakes, they drank, they smoked, they took their race cars down the road. Big personalities with character and depth. Now we have 16 year old kids groomed with hundreds of thousands of dollars to be the best and not make a wrong step. Boring and who cares; that kid is probably a prick in real life beneath that fake smile.
