NASCAR: What’s wrong with NASCAR? Part 7 – The drivers
Join me for part seven of “What’s wrong with NASCAR?” as I discuss how the drivers themselves have halted the growth of the current product.
What’s up, NASCAR family? Who’s ready for the latest edition of “What’s wrong with NASCAR?”? I know I sure am! After taking a week off from the series to discuss the Brian France situation, I’m more than ready to get back to the hot topics that we have been discussing over the last month and a half.
If you haven’t been following the series, make sure you click the following links to catch up on all the conversations we’ve had thus far.
In today’s piece, I want to discuss another burning issue in the sport, the drivers. I’m not here to bash the current crop of drivers, because I think this is one of the best classes we’ve seen in NASCAR history. I am here to point out a few negatives that I see as a fan.
When discussing each issue, I want you to think back to the drivers this sport was built on. Dale Earnhardt Sr., Darrell Waltrip and Cale Yarborough. Many drivers these days seem to be the opposite of what race car drivers were decades ago.
Enough blabbering. Let’s get to talking about how the drivers themselves can negatively affect the modern product of NASCAR.
