Real Racers Turn Right

@CarsonHocevar was just interviewed on the red carpet by E! That couple of minutes created exposure to millions of viewers who never have heard about #NASCAR That is why he is at the Met Gala

@NASCAR @CarsonHocevar @eentertainment @SpireMotorsport Cleans up nicely but a very pedestrian tux choice for the Met Gala. Thankfully, no Sponsor logos

Traded the fire suit for a #MetGala suit.

@chadknowsball_ @NASCAR @CarsonHocevar @eentertainment @SpireMotorsport The #nascar cupboard lacks many options for the next face of the sport. Why not him? Almost every other driver has the personality of warm milk

@NASCAR @CarsonHocevar @eentertainment @SpireMotorsport They really going all in on him being the face of nascar lmao

@stkfc_diajack @jeff_gluck It's by invitation only. It's not an easy ticket even for A-Listers which Blaney is not

@jeff_gluck Can’t believe Ryan Blaney hasn’t gone with his wife

This is so good and so needed for NASCAR to have drivers in settings like these. Huge.

@jeff_gluck It is a good thing. I wonder who picked up his 100K ticket fee.

@ponine18151 @jeff_gluck I remember when Jeff Gordon was there and everybody said that is not #nascar but he attracted new fans Well, Carson is dressed a bit tame for the Met Gala, but it is good to get his name outside to #nascar circles. The Sport desperately needs new fans

@jeff_gluck This is huge! No Nascar driver has ever been invited to the Met. There are actors and musicians who try for years to get an invite and Carson is there! 👏🏼

@KellieBlundell Seeing how much revenue #f1 generates every year, I'd want to be F1 too! @imsa is the best series in #nascar The lack of track limit enforcement makes NASCAR look amateurish

@JimbobsH @FWRobbins45 Sponsors pay the bills and they are in short supply for #nascar

@FWRobbins45 Corporations started having too much say. They can’t even get the numbers centered on the door anymore.

It will never not be embarrassing that the series whose trajectory put them on the path to compete with the NFL now looks like this on race day. This is what mismanagement looks like. #nascar

@automan224 @FWRobbins45 60 million was unique viewers over a season, not tickets sold. Attendance was in the low 20 million range early in the 2000s but as stadiums downsized, attendance shrunk. However, TV viewership is as strong as ever

@FWRobbins45 People tend to forget that the nfk also lost viewers and have smaller stadiums In the 00s they were pulling in 60 million people for the season Now? 20

@nascarcasm Saying "yes" is the leading cause of divorce.

"Will you do me the honor of leasing to me the permanent charter to your heart?"

@ToddFuhrman Beer League defense but at an elite playoff level

I have absolutely no earthly idea what the hell we’ve watched in Denver tonight

@jeff_gluck @PitLaneCPT Goggins is the outlier among outliers! But he is not wrong

Alan Gustafson quotes David Goggins when asked by @PitLaneCPT about his detractors on social media: "You'll never find a hater who can do it better than you can."

@AndrewMarchand Great numbers, but Sadly, outside of the Triple Crown events, horse racing is struggling with relevance. Many tracks, especially smaller ones, see racing as loss leader to get people into casinos

Inbox: 🐎📺

@Hasuess @AndrewMarchand Third one is the Belmont which is messed up right now and NYRA finishes renovations to Belmont Park to accommodate winter racing with Aqueduct closing, Doubtful a league would work as tracks and horse owners have their own agendas

@AndrewMarchand I love watching what is the big three Kentucky Preakness and the other one Someone needs to start like A horse racing League I mean I would watch I loved watching that

@BoziTatarevic @imsa is so much fun to watch! Good blend of factory teams mixed with Privateers

JDC besting the factory teams in GTP is basically the equivalent of a team like FRM beating Penske in NASCAR with last years aero.

NASCAR has a serious business model problem. In 2025, #f1 generated 2.5 billion in sponsorship and growing, second only to the NFL at 2.7 billion. in 2024 #NASCAR generated 360 million and declining from previous years.

@A_S12 I agree with the charters to protect value, but why would anybody invest just to run Indy? #nascar model works because there are 4 opens slots every weekend. #f1 model ensures teams are able to run the entire season

Michael Shank on ending open entries: "It's just natural, I think, to want to create an environment like that for owners to gain value. And the way you do that is by limiting access. And that's what we did here, and it's worked for a lot of other people." indystar.com/story/sports/m…

@darrenrovell @BetMGM The 2.5 was actually 2.5 TIMES the score so the Hawks are covering

Would have hated to be the 23 percent at @BetMGM tonight that bet that the Hawks would cover +2.5. Down 53 with six minutes to go in the third.

@A_S12 @SBJ @f1miami This are not out of line with other stadium concession prices in the US.

Here's some of the concession menus @F1Miami, including local cheese shop's Chèvre's $100 "Golden Glizzy" caviar-topped hot dog that has gotten publicity this week.

@SGraysonFOX29 @darrenrovell Few sporting events match the intensity of a game/series winning OT goal in 5he St way Cup Playoffs

This is what it looks and sounds like to take the roof off a building with a series clinching overtime goal
