Who cares about Nascar ?

The Daytona 500 just happened and this year once again NASCAR is saying less fans and less TV viewers and even less interest in NASCAR. The fact is NASCAR changed the way the Daytona was operated. So let's really think about NASCAR and the reasons for the downward spiral of fans.

FACE IT NASCAR IS BORING!

As a sports guy who loves just about every sport Nascar has never been on my list as far as wagering or even watching NASCAR I only enjoy the wrecks even though I hate to see anyone hurt. As far as wagering on NASCAR in Nevada most books offer only to win the RACE or MATCHUPS between drivers. I believe if books offered people a chance to wager First or Second and Third places it would draw more attention. After all look at this last Daytona most of the drivers had been eliminated by the last LAP!

NASCAR also has lost its appeal on TV maybe we need more drama or something to attract fans NASCAR is not on the news like the NFL or NBA or even COLLEGE sports. THese sports good or bad always seems to be in the news. Maybe NASCAR needs to make drivers more available to the fans as well. One thing people love or at least me is meeting the people involved in the sport.

Need more female drivers in Nascar face it Danica Patrick set the mold but over the years her career in NASCAR has well not been much to talk about.  Nascar needs to allow some more female drivers into the mix. This way the boys will just have to learn to live with it!

I really have no answers for NASCAR it just seems the draw of cars going fast around a track several times has lost the appeal to people. Chalk it up with MONSTER TRUCKS and DRAG RACING as well. While these sports have a set of fans that love the sport they have lost the media and national attention!

Adding more races in places with no sports may be an answer as well or what about a good old race across the USA!

No matter how you look at it even if your a FAN of this sport or any motor sport it is just not what it use to be!
