Several fans spoke about how the sport had only been listening to the vocal few. This stems from the decision to tear down Auto Club Speedway in favor of a short track. The organization had multiple options for short tracks across the country instead they decided to take down one of the most memorable tracks on the calendar. Aside, from this fans also complained about the duration of the races.

Meanwhile, one fan on Reddit said, “I think lack of targeting the younger demographic over the last 10 years is starting to show up. Whether it be toys or video games, NASCAR has all but disappeared from major retailers’ shelves. Racing games are part of the core foundation of video games and for NASCAR not to have the best game out there is an absolute joke. Zero excuses not to have a great video game.”

Yet another fan on Reddit stated, “It’s more difficult to watch NASCAR than it is to watch most things as NASCAR is only on tv and doesn’t have a dedicated streaming service like F1TV or Flo or… if they made it easier they could attract more fans. Why would any new viewer switch from FOX to NBC halfway thru the season?”

Some of the fans also highlighted the importance of having a good NASCAR video game in the market. They believe it would help bring in more fans from the younger generations. NASCAR could have taken inspiration from Formula 1, and how they diversified into an official F1 game. It is not that NASCAR does not have its own game. It does, but the game is so terrible that no one wishes to spend a single penny on it. With several options available for NASCAR, what do you think they will end up choosing to keep the sport popular? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
