[Unrivaled]

Nascar not a real sport.

[carolinakid]

my main thing is that sports are trying to come back in some fashion, that the lightbulb going off in this thread.

[KVB]

Wow it looks like they're beating golf to be the first to resume.

Didn't think anyone would resume before golf, I wasn't thinking about racing though.

[KVB]

Heard also Darlington, South Carolina May 17

[hostile takeover]

Libs are gonna be pissed about this.

Probably dismiss this as racist, irresponsible and not a real sport.

[astrobloke]

luv it

[carolinakid]

so i was correct on my date then, i was doing 3 things at 1 time and caught it on the local media here.

[KVB]

Lol so true.

It's about time we get some good news coming out of the sports world though, because the outlook moving in to next fall just seems so negative.

Nothing but a bad stream of news for all of us whose work involves sports, it seems.

[carolinakid]

i cant believe the dem gov. here in nc sign off on this, now if we can only get the hair salons to open back up soon.

[clockwise1965]

Great!

[thetrinity]

Glad to see even though I won’t watch

[big joe 1212]

Don’t need fans in stand. Irrelevant. Drivers don’t even know if they are there nor not.

Same with tennis and golf....everyone has to be quiet at all times....should always play without fans now

[5mike5]

Back to work

[big joe 1212]

I’d actually watch a NASCAR race right now.

Smart move on their part to beat everyone to the punch. Might attract new fans.

[wikkidinsane]

I am excited about this. All those who want to perish can speed up the process. will there be distancing?

[Plaza23]

I don’t think NASCAR needs fans in the stands to still generate the same amount of TV interest anyway. It’s not like the NFL, or NBA where crows noise is part of the game and resonates on TV.

Look at all the Indy Grand Prix races, nobody is focusing on the fans tor those. So I think this will be good for NASCAR and will probably draw huge TV ratings.

Football and basketball need fans those. Baseball probably too. The atmosphere watching a Marlins game is dull.

[jjgold]

Problem is most people do not watch it

It is not a mainstream sport so ratings will not go up much

[lonegambler23]

great another dumb sport for u to bet CK

[jjgold]

great another dumb sport for u to bet CK

most will not bet it

Mainstream cannot relate to it, I cannot name 3 drivers and most Americans cannot name 1

Most gamblers just bet football USA

[racing_is_fun]

Iracing been incredibly profitable. Will be sad to see it go.

[LT Profits]
