What can fix NASCAR's lagging fan support?

Answer 1

Yup. Lower ticket prices and cut some commercials out of the broadcast. And, stop playing God.

Answer 2

Dump the COT----it's NASCAR, not NACOTAR.
Show all the race action on speed or fox---nbc and espn coverage sucks horribly (with all due respect to the nbc guys)

put a muzzle on all the crybabies and cease favoritism of hendrick boys and Jr. Give more drivers tv time who also deserve it

take labor day weekend away from cookie cutter California and return it to Darlington. Phoenix is not the greatest racetrack either---why abandon the Rock, Wilkesboro or possible new tracks for that.

make races more affordable to attend. Remember how much gas or plane tickets cost to even get there, and then you get reamed for $5 water and three figures for a decent seat. The fans made the sport what it is, sucking up to corporates is not going to keep the grandstands full or keep the workingman's tv on the race.

stop changing the rules and point system every 10 seconds. If they woin't return to the winston cup points system, then restore the first chase scenario.

Answer 3

Not going to, it is going to take a death in Nascar to recapture the fans that are being lost. In the past decade Nascar has picked up the casual fan, not the fanatical fans so unless something drastic happens they are going to go off and find something else to fill their time for another decade or so.

Answer 4

I read some of the answer before I wrote this .I agree w/the people that wrote. I live in Chicago & to go to the race you have to buy 2 weekends one for nascar and the other IRL. This will coast for 2 people $450/600 who wnats to go to the race by them self I don't

Answer 5

1-2 more short track races.

Return the Labor Day weekend race to Darlington, where it belongs.

1-2 more road course races. It is far more fun to watch the drivers maneuver those bulky cars on road courses than simply driving in big circles. It adds a different element to the race (staying on the track).

3-4 less races at the 1-1.5 mile tracks. They all look the same and are boring to watch. I don't watch the Michigan races because they are VERY boring.

Less music on TV broadcasts.

Answer 6

If they stop changing the rules all the time and alienating their longtime, hard-core supporters. The television demographic NASCAR is currently chasing is fickle and will quickly get bored and go off in search of "The Next Big Thing". Mark my words.

Answer 7

Lower prices,
Less favoritism,
More fan friendly venues,
Less cookie cutter tracks.
More consistancy in the rules.
When on TV focus on the race and not the same handful of drivers every race.
Cut out the volums of commercials,or go to split screens during commercials.
That's all I have to say about that.

Answer 8

STOP with all the TV commercials-I know it pays the bills but for heaven sakes...
STOP coddling ...Not all the drivers are given the same treatment.
START showing more of the 11-42 race cars...you always see the same 10 cars...and 10 is generous.
START making tickets more fan friendly...Most races are sellouts...but it would give others a chance....
A track that sells its tickets for $90x 140,000 people???
Someones making money...

Answer 9

they need more like tony Stewart piss people off think about the first time NSCAR was on T.V Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough crash get in a huge fight and puts NASCAR on the map

Answer 10

Id like to see them cut down on all the comercials or do the split screen like indy cars do if they feel the need to show 5 minutes of them for every 5 minutes of racing.

Answer 11

First lower the ticket prices then advertise a little more and change the television station to a more viewed channel like ESPN.
