My time has passed:(

I grew up a HUGE Nascar (Winston Cup) fan as a kid. My 2 favorites were Darrell Waltrip and Earnhardt Sr:( Waltrip just retired from announcing this year:(

Dale Jr. and Harvick were my go to drivers after Dale Sr passed. It was good for awhile, but Jr could never get over the consistency hurdle of winning a championship...though he did good at Daytona etc.

I grew up with Harvick and know him and his family fairly well. He is my last driver right now.

That being said, the last 5-10 years I've lost interest. Too many yellow flags and ending races under caution, and I hardly know any of the young drivers at this point.

I feel like I did in the 80's and 90's for basketball as a Lakers fan...the passing of the guard and I lose interest.

I miss the late 70's and 80's days...even the 90's for awhile. I couldn't stand Jeff Gordon, so a lot of the 90's sucked for me, lol.

...I need to get my son interested though...NASCAR is good for the soul;)

Maybe I need to plan a trip for a race with the family:cool:

I was diehard fan for many years, as of late tho not so much. The drivers are a bunch of pussies, the rules package sucks, the racing is beyond terrible. I prefer to go watch our local short track. If you don't think Nascar is dying, just look at the attendance over the last five years!

For one they need to do away with the Chase and stick to the old points system. I'm okay with the stages. They need to stop making the cars so unbelievably stable that everyone has a chance at winning. I do agree that Nascar is a dying sport since kids are not even interested in cars at all anymore. It's still fun to take the family though.

Wow, so i'm not the only one....didn't know it was dying off. I don't feel so bad now...but man, they need to do something. I have so many memories as a kid watching it in front of the screen in the early 1980's onward, and through the early-mid 2000's. Man, in HS and even college, we'd be hung-over from drinking Saturday nights, but we'd always find a way to watch it with usually some BBQ.
