I agree on pretty much everything. Especially the sold out races at every track. Remember going to The Brickyard in late 90s to like 2004 and it seemed normal to have it sold out. A bunch of the tracks even had their max capacity with seating sold out before removing sections of grandstands like Charlotte when there were seats from off turn 2 all the way to in between turns 3 and 4. Martinsville and Richmond had seats all the way around too sold out. Really miss those days

NASCAR peaked in the mid-2000s, and has been on a steady decline sense. up until last year I went to both Texas races (it's an hour from home, I like that I sleep in my own bed at night) and the first 3 or 4 years it was a complete sellout, the last couple years it looked like a Friday qualifying crowd on Sunday.

Thing is I don't know how nascar can make a hybrid work on the bigger ovals as there isn't the banking zones to recharge the batteries, it can certainly be done on short tracks and road coruses like other series but they'll have to be creative if they want them at the Coke 600 or Daytona 500 someday.

As someone who has Darlington in their backyard and truly wants the sport to be great, it's very hard to be a big fan of Nascar when they try to make their sport entertainment-based then creating a great motorsport product. I want to see innovation in aero packages, i want to see a legitimate champion, I want to see Nascar become an actual sport against. A full season format, even on the drivers with the most dominant seasons ever (like 1987 Dale Earnhardt or 1998 Jeff Gordon), it at the very least would put far more weight on the first 2/3 of the season than the current format where races don't begin to Matter until around the last 7. I'm also in total agreement that Nascar should have far less rules on it as with the skill these mechanics nowadays have they could start a speed revolution and really make Nascar become a sport again. It would bring much more legitimacy and actually give more mainstream appeal because it would show people the sport isn't a gimmick but rather a serious entity, like how they were in the 90s and 2000s (which, by the way there were 9 times between 88-02 where the championship was decided by the final race so there was clearly plenty of exciting title battles). With all that said, do I think it would happen? No, because it makes far too much sense for upper management to actually do it

I can give an argument as to why going hybrid is a terrible idea. The whole purpose of going hybrid is to be environmentally friendly, right? Well, here's something that people should take into consideration. One of the biggest issues with gasoline-powered engines is carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. People believe in theory that if you're driving an electric car, you're not burning off any CO2 emissions. Well, that's not true. Electric cars are even being said to burn off worse emissions than diesel trucks. Now, think about where you're most likely to have every car be all electric on the road. Countries like Japan and China, which are among the dirtiest countries in the world in terms of air pollution. When you're driving a hybrid, however, you're burning off emissions from two sources. And that's not even mentioning what it takes to make a hybrid/electric car. For oil, we simply have to drill for it or frack for it. If it's done right, there are no environmental issues. Now compare that to the power source of an electric car: you have to strip mine for your power source, coal. It doesn't matter how well it's done, that hurts the environment. Not to mention, the power is made in highly polluting factories. How does this help the environment, again? Yeah, I don't buy it when I am fed BS by the government, or even what society tells me. Honestly, if people really want to go environmentally friendly, the best thing we can do is try to make our equipment more durable to withstand 100% alcohol. Specifically, ethanol. Getting access to it is really easy, clean, and the fuel itself isn't too bad. You're probably still going to burn off emissions, but they're not as bad as fossil fuels.

Since NASCAR's never going back to a full-season championship, y'all should start taking the Regular Season Championship seriously. It's not a full-season, but it's 26 races of a straight old-school points battle that features a giant trophy and some cool incentives for the winner. I have no idea why so many people bag on the thing. It's essentially the shortened Winston Cup format.

Yeah. I don’t see NASCAR going full on ball’s the wall and just let the cars scream with huge amounts of horsepower. While I would like that to happen very much I don’t see it happening anytime soon. NASCAR wants to keep the drivers safe and after Ryan Newman’s accident last year, I get why NASCAR is decreasing horsepower. Also drying the track by helicopter? That’s very very odd. I’ve never heard of that before.

One point I think you were wrong on was 7:49, when talking about speeds and you said they should let the cars run up as fast as they want and added "If they need to intervene, then they intervene." Well guess what? They needed to, and they did. There's a saying in aviation, and anything automobile related is the same way, "rules are written in blood." It's ridiculous to think NASCAR will take off the restrictions, say yeah go run 230, and wait for someone to die before going oh snap maybe you should slow down. Would it be cool to see them go faster? Duh, but it's not realistic at all. They slowed the cars down for a reason, and there's no way they will lift the restrictions unless they turn into F1 cars with all the downforce in the world where it's virtually impossible to get airborne unless you physically lift it up. Another point I have to disagree on is the playoffs system. If an NFL team goes 14-2 in the regular season but loses in the first or second round of the playoffs, they don't pout and go "well we were so good for the rest of the season, the playoffs suck! This isn't fair!" The point of playoffs is to have the best of the best in your sport going against each other and ultimately picking out who is the best. I know the NFL doesn't have a season points system, but you get what I'm saying. It's just not fun or entertaining to have these situations where x has to finish _____, y has to finish _____, and z has to finish ______ for t to win the championship, and that is also where a lot of on-track sabotage comes from. I think almost every sports fan or competitor would much rather have it where you weed out the worse drivers, and it comes down to who can be the best under pressure in the final race to crown the champion. Is it okay for an NBA team to go 70-12 and win all their games by 10+ plus points, go roll through the playoffs, maybe lose a game here or there, then get steamrolled in the Finals and say "Well we should be champions, we did the best in the regular season. We need to get rid of the playoffs!" No? Thought not. The point of a competitive sport with a champion is to crown the best competitor, and if you can't perform throughout the season AND when it matters in the playoffs, that's your own damn fault and I don't feel bad for you.
