NASCAR Fans react to “no burnouts” reveal

Fans were outraged to hear that there would not be any burnout event during the award ceremony in Nashville. Considering how big of a spectacle the event is, its absence is highly demotivating for fans who have been waiting for it all year long.

Fans took shots at the President of NASCAR Steve Phelps and asked that he should be fired for calling quits on the burnout events. On the other hand, others suggested that events like this should happen more often especially when an exhibition race is taking place. One it adds to the marketing of the sport, second it kind of draws newer demographics into its ever-so-diminishing fan base.
