toyotatim Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 This new package is awesome. These restarts go 3 and 4 wide for lap after lap and they can hang on to them. The whole race ran without a single caution. The only caution flags were for the end of stages. These guys hit a home run here with this package. Thanks nascar.

Radical Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 What kind of crackers are you eating? Yes, the restarts are great for a few laps but after that it seemed to be the same old racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exjet145 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Haven't watched Na$car in 4 years or so. I watched the first three races so far and not much has changed that I see. I can not get behind this stage racing. I don't get it. I guess it's the soccer mom's approach to make more of them feel like they won something. Listening to the commentators trying to oversell what your seeing on the track about drove me to turn it off. And already talking about playoffs three races in is just ridiculous. I'll watch a few short track races and see if they make it move again. Or maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotatim Posted March 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Thanks for looking. It all helps. Essie is looking to see how many Nascar fans are left. The more we have, the better chance we have of getting another facility as great as Houston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Not all local race fans are NASCAR fans. Also not all NASCAR fans are local race fans. So if the owner of the San Antonio track is using NASCAR numbers to decide to build a track then he maybe disappointed when it is open. He needs to be at local tracks. Be it dirt or asphalt and ask the racers and fans. I know plenty of NASCAR fans that have never set foot on a local racing facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotatim Posted March 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 It is all part of the evaluation process. The common denominator in local pavement racing comes directly from the level of interest in Nascar. It is understood that not all local fans are Nascar fans and vice versa. But go to a local pavement track and look at the people wearing Nascar products. There are always the Nascar boo birds, but he is interested in he level of interest. How many fans are left.

TexasTornado Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Even when 25-50% full, there are still more people in the stands at a Nascar race than all the local tracks in Texas combined on any Saturday night. What were the attendance numbers at HMP last week? Apples to oranges comparison I know, but Tim is right. If Nascar is ever dead and gone, the local tracks will be too. But we know it won't be dead and gone anytime soon because even all the haters like you guys tune in on $undays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arob Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 If NASCAR is dead and gone the local asphalt track may be too. I think we are seeing this now. As for butts in the stands I think a local track sponsor goes to the track and sees say 600 people filling 60-100% depending on the track feels much better than the NASCAR sponsor spending big bucks and walking into these half full tracks.There is no doubt NASCAR knows they have a problem and now that France Jr. is somewhat out of the picture they have done things to try and fix it.Now that NASCAR has taken over ARCA maybe they will adopt the variety of tracks ARCA races on as soon as they can. I hope more asphalt tracks will be built and succeed. It will take at least a few seasons to get going as racers gain confidence in the track to commit to building a car. Most of us old timers grew up at the asphalt track and it can be big again if it can match the excitement dirt tracks for the most part currently provide.
