GM to quit NASCAR

[70 Forest Green Zee]

There's no real reason that I can see why NASCAR can't go back to stock bodied cars with todays safety mandates and have a car as safe as todays car. The 2 biggest improvements to safety over the years are the Hans device, and safer barrier walls that all tracks have implemented and that wouldn't and shouldn't change.

Lee...just how much longer do you think FOX and NBC will be able to afford to pay those kind of fees to NASCAR? Major sponsors WILL notice that the stands are more than half empty and also take a good hard look at TV ratings and find that no one is watching any more. Major companies who spend millions in advertising on weekly NASCAR events will find that it's no longer profitable to advertise during a NASCAR event and quit doing it. You know as well as I do the money doesn't come from the TV networks, it comes from sponsorship dollars, and when sponsorship of NASCAR events is no longer profitable, companies will quit doing it. You are right, the writing is on the wall, just not as you describe it bud!

In conjunction with my post above... keep in mind that the 2020 NASCAR season will be the first season since Winston was the title sponsor for the cup series, that the cup series will not have a single title sponsor. Monster Energy pulled out after only 3 or 4 years and have taken on a much smaller sponsorship role for the 2020 season. Why? Because it's not profitable! 4 individual companies have grouped together and have assumed that role. What does that tell you???
