The younger crowd loves the tech of F1. That is where the sport will thrive.
I'd rather watch F1, I think it's a more exciting product.

F1 lacks one important thing... passing. Hands down, the best cars and drivers on the planet... but the "racing"... it is very uncompetitive when the green flag is out. Indycar does tend to stretch out too, but it isn't remotely as bad. I personally can't watch it (not having ESPN might also impact that
). F1 is growing in the US, three races now, but NASCAR still has a devoted but aging fanbase.
NASCAR is boring until a big wreck. The cars are boring the tracks are boring. I’ll watch Daytona as there is nothing else on until spring training and college basketball heats up.F1 lacks one important thing... passing.

I have always watched some F1 but have flipped and now watch mostly F1 and a mix of others. I say others as I have added watching a lot I never did before.
F1 is fine as long as Hamilton doesn't get the pole. I like to see him back in the pack and work his way back up. If he gets the pole it's usually over unless he has mechanical problems. I like the times they have too when they race, just when I get up in the morning.
I saw some "inverted" races where the pole is in the back slow in the front in both NASCAR and F1 I absolutely loved it! It made the racing so much fun to watch. Or when someone gets a penalty and gets kicked to the rear. So much fun!F1 is fine as long as Hamilton doesn't get the pole. I like to see him back in the pack and work his way back up.

First race/clash 2023 the LA Coliseum is empty! There are far more empty seats than filled. This is the LA Coliseum 100th anniversary and NASCAR's 75th anniversary. I was shocked to see Jimmy return.
Do people in LA care about NASCAR. Do NASCAR fans want to watch a race on a hot wheels track.
When does the real races start ?
Daytona 500
Actually, the Thursday races before the Daytona is usually very good as well .... Use to be the Twin 125's before advertisement took over ... I know, its all over all the drivers.
Those races use to be to Race into the Daytona 500 (except for the Top 2 spots, determined the Sunday before.
No clue what they are calling it now ... is it still even On the Thursday before, or have they ruined the week before as well.
Speed Weeks use to be awesome.

Doesn’t this deserve a new NASCAR 2023 thread instead of rehashing the 2022 Pinned thread?
Pretty much anything will be better than NASCAR racing at Baby Park.
This "race" is a gimmick, or more accurately a joke as those cars aren't built for a quarter-mile track. About as ridiculous as short-track speed skating.
- Agree that we need as 23 thread. Its 23.
- This event is a gimmick. NASCAR, which is to say the insular France family, is listening to a tiny cadre of hangers on that tell them excuse after excuse for the mistakes that they made. One of these is this idea that, somehow "this modern generation" cannot be happy with a properly conducted car race. Now, maybe there a less people under 30 or whatever number you want to use, that follow motorsports than there were X years ago. But there are still plenty of people of all ages that long for the sport from the days it was properly run.
And in this country, EVERYTHING not spelled NFL, is a niche deal. Find your niche and stick to it. Downtown LA hip-hop fans ain't it.
