NASCAR considering changes to emulate Time Attack

[sharif@forged]

NASCAR needs to adapt and change, just like any successful organization. Attendance is down, sponsorship dollars are down, and the days of 10-20% annual growth are long gone. They aren't immune changes in the economy and the industry overall so it will be interesting to see what kinds of changes they eventually adopt.

Look at this economy, pretty much EVERYTHING is down... I assure you they are and will be just fine.... Don't you worry there, big guy

Hahaha LMAO. Cool maybe you should send Brian France or Mike Darby an e-mail or better yet, make a call to them and let them and their team of thousands of top level marketers and business strategists know your thoughts.... Or maybe send them your resume... maybe they will be SO blown away with all you wisdom (like your lemming followers are) that they will hire you as a consultant right on the spot... Good luck with that one there...

But I find it a little naive and silly for almost ANYBODY to question the tactics of the highest spectated sport in the country, the most successfully ran privately owned sport in the world, and the number one motorsport organization in the country..... there is things I question as well, but you cant help but take notice of the outrageous success that NASCAR has become.... there is a reason for everything, whether you or I understand it or not....

I don't try to question a PROVEN solution, maybe just try to understand it more, Just my .02

I don't question their business model, but the whole "win on Sunday sell on Monday" is pretty far from reality anymore!

LOL.. yes, it would seem that way, but according to the latest annalists... that old saying still rings true according to Ford, GM, Chrysler, and Toyota marketing VP's (probably not as much as before).... even with the bad economy and low new car sales.

I think they should go back to production based cars... nothing like watching production based cars with 750hp trying to turn left at 200mph.
