Classic Racing Battles

@JeffPurvisFan @Themeatball__ Oh I don't know, just general life experience. I'm sure that doesn't hold up in the little court in your mind but it does in mine. There's a reason Bass pro shops, Remington and several other outdoor brands have marketed to NASCAR fans over the years. They are the same people!

@RacingBattle @Themeatball__ Prove it.

The NASCAR audience didn’t die off or start watching Netflix, they just left.

@Themeatball__ @JeffPurvisFan The fan bases are or were

@RacingBattle @JeffPurvisFan Oh yea Fishing and Racing are two peas in a pod.

@JeffPurvisFan lol

@RacingBattle “I would say” is emotional and opinion, not factual. I would say that you have dog like hair all over your body. See, we can say anything. Prove it or hush with the bs.

RIP Chuck Norris

@JeffPurvisFan I would say that this is proof. No other sport would have more of a crossover fan base for the traditional NASCAR than bass fishing.

@RacingBattle Prove it.

@yungmoney243 True but the point remains. These people are a big part of the former fan base.

@RacingBattle This is the the Daytona 500 of fishing….check the viewership of regular events

Watch as @markmartin and @JeffBurton battle for the win in a classic Busch series finish @TooToughToTame in 2000.

@marktterrific @galzeranoa @Angry_Joe46 Plus I bet the fishing audience would tell you that they WERE a nascar fan

@galzeranoa @Angry_Joe46 @RacingBattle But the problem is…even more people have FOX and the more casual has FOX than FS1. Would bet most people saw fishing was on on FOX and was like huh cool. Those people can do the same with NASCAR on FS1. Darlington on FS1 is all I need to know how FOX feel about NASCAR

@Angry_Joe46 That’s definitely a piece of the puzzle, but poor on track product and using an illegitimate championship format for so long did most of the damage. it’s become unrecognizable.

@RacingBattle I know it'll never get back to what it was, all of these races on FS1/USA network are losing so many viewers for the sport.

@nascar_opinion @NASCAR Everything’s great and never better!

Dweebs have seen 5 weeks of solid racing & instant story lines due to the POINTS STANDINGS & want to run to me about ratings. Further proof that a certain sector of fans don't know what @NASCAR is supposed to be.

Ted Musgrave and @DaleJarrett battle for the win @TooToughToTame in 1997.

@TeamKFBfan8 @KyleBusch It really stinks. The series needs him to be competitive

As a, @KyleBusch fan this is becoming harder and harder to watch. We know he hasn’t forgotten how to drive a race car, the drive is still there, so to be out in left field every single week, with no hope in sight, is infuriating. #RowdyNation #NASCAR

@tbfreeman64 @LVMotorSpeedway @markmartin @WardBurtonWBWF @JeffBurton True and this ended early for rain.

@RacingBattle @LVMotorSpeedway @markmartin @WardBurtonWBWF @JeffBurton Look at how full the stands were

The original Vegas put on some great side by side racing. Ward Burton battles hard to stay on the lead lap as his brother Jeff and Mark Martin try to get by at old, flat @LVMotorSpeedway in 2000.

Great save by @shanevg97. A little reminiscent of this beauty by @jamiemcmurray in 2009.

@CarsonHocevar Nice

@koop_designs05 The standards keep falling

Seeing F1 fans say the new regs are good just because the previous one was bad is like me seeing NASCAR fans say the new championship format is good just because the previous one was bad lol. Previous and now are both dogshit lol, there aren't two choices quit settling for slop.

Crank It Up @LVMotorSpeedway 2008

@SteelHorseLive Hell yeah as they say

There's only 1 correct answer
