    I gotta agree, Darian! There are a lot of things where NASCAR definitely DOES deserve criticism on, but this literally has no effect on the points or anything like that! It's just adding more incentives for these drivers to get up on the wheel more during what would otherwise be an uninteresting part of the season! Complaints about this, and other things, like single lugnuts, number placement, things like that, is pointless! I compare these types of complaints to the ones I see in certain forums in the model railroading and railfanning communities, trust me, there's some really dandy ones in some of the comments sections there too! In both areas, they will do what sells, its just that simple!

    Honestly anytime a network or sponsor can add value to the sport. I see it as a win. The teams are already not profitable; to help them and the sport grow, I welcome more of these things. I'm all for change if it does nothing but good things for NASCAR. Crying and whining does no good, for instance, even though I hate the current playoff format, I'm still a fan, and I'll still watch the playoffs. If we give it a chance before shooting it down, we might be grateful we kept an open mind. If viewership skyrocket's, that's a definite win for all of us. This could very well bring some very notable sponsors back to the sport that we absolutely need.

    People have the right to complain about exclusive streaming, I am not a fan of exclusive streaming, I rather have options to watch TV, streaming, or both. I am only paying Xfinity and Peacock. I do not wanna be the kind of people that pays random streaming platforms left and right, which basically makes it cable 2.0 with prices increasing. I have Peacock, so I sadly have to deal with that part....
    I still rather have crown jewel races on big TV. The 600 is a big race and it is a must watch race for anybody on TV, not exclusive streaming. Streaming back then in the 2010s was a lot better. Oh well, thank god for piracy! Also Amazon Prime is $15, which is expensive for a streaming platform, so I'll pass. Time to be a pirate.
    But Xfinity modernizes cable by having TV AND streaming platforms. Even Hulu has some normal TV channels, which is cheaper, I think, and even UA-cam TV is cheaper than all the cable providers.

Then when it comes to the Amazon deal im sure it's the 50+ year old crowd that's mainly doing the complaining. The sad reality for them is that NASCAR isn't catering to them. Dipping their toe into streaming is a good move because that's where the younger demographic is at and NASCAR desperately needs to capture that audience. We all know nascar usually makes a lot of dumb decisions but when it comes to these 2 things their actually good moves.

    BFM, I agree: NASCAR fans need to (a) calm the f down and (b) at least give the concept a chance. I still remember Winston's No Bull 5 and that was pretty good - it didn't affect the points system and it added an incentive to try and win races.
    The reason I think everyone BMW's (bitch-whine-moan) about NASCAR is that, after Matt Kenseth whooped the field to hell and back in 2003 despite winning what, one solitary race, they changed the points system (which I thought at the beginning was dumb, nowadays as long as the racing's good, I'm like "meh!").
    Sports change over time - not everything can be as cut and dried as English Premier League soccer and its' "most points win, period" mantra (and if you think NASCAR fans can be whiny as hell at times, go propose anything U.S. sports related to EPL fans...and watch the fireworks go off in response!).

    Thank you for making this video. We really need a cold, hard dose of reality. NASCAR fans really do love to complain. One other example of this was when a few of the track logos were being changed and fans were absolutely livid.
    News flash: The logos changing isn’t going to affect anything with the racing aspect of things. But no, “fans” just have to say something.
    I’ve dealt with lots of toxic F1 fans recently, but guess the one thing I’ve dealt with more of. That’s right! Toxic NASCAR “fans”

Now what NASCAR needs to do and i understand why people complain about this, NASCAR needs to fix the damn Next Gen Car.

Actually, they should do more stuff like this to satisfy the “entertainment” aspect and give us back our full-season points system. You could have the stupid playoff and just crown a playoff champion and still have a legitimate season champion.

    The Coke 600 has been on Fox not on cable for many years. The over the air Fox will have more people that can watch it than Amazon Prime as long as Fox is around so that was a really bad comparison. Getting rib of cable won't stop most people from being able to watch Fox.

      On one hand, I see your point. On the other hand, a lot of people could be on the road for Memorial Day, and may not have anywhere to watch it if they're traveling during that time. So Amazon Prime having it could be more beneficial for the race, as there will be more viewership for the race.

    Apart from that, there is no complaint from me.

    i think the fact that it was "Denny's idea" coaxed some people who would've been on the fence otherwise into the crowd that hates it. Like, seriously if y'all want Denny out of his, imo very entertaining, villain arc then stop giving him the attention he's using to keep it going. He knows we need a heel in the sport and without him, or stuff like this "GiMmIcK", NASCAR would be a lot less entertaining to a lot of people, even if they don't realize it. you're still allowed to not like him and root against him, but like...chill, you don't know the guy so stop acting like it's personal

    Now, some may complain about this "Coke 600 being on Amazon Prime Video is a bad move", which I'd say I agree to an extent but, looking at the other streaming platforms DIRTVision, FloRacing, and RacingAmerica... They really need to think of the positives of this.
    World of Outlaws would've died off, and not have a lot of views if it wasn't for DIRTVision, and iRacing promoting them, those local short track guys, and the ARCA West & East Division drivers wouldn't have TV time if it wasn't for FloRacing help broadcasting their races, and not even the Joe Shear Memorial Race wouldn't be a must watch if it wasn't for RacingAmerica.
    And sure, there was FloRacing who could've taken them but, in the end NASCAR is gonna be NASCAR, let them make the TV decision, plus they've made a really good decision on getting a good gaming publisher like iRacing, they just need to fix the NextGen car, and their short track package.

    I understand why fans were quick to freak out about this bracket style competition but for people who have been watching the sport for a long time; it's no different than the DirecTV Head 2 Head Knockout competition that Fox ran during their portion of races in 2010. Drivers 'competed' to beat a driver in their bracket and win a million bucks for charity and if a fan filled their bracket perfectly they won a million too. It literally had NO impact on the racing and the drivers didn't even care about it. In theory this should be the same.

That way I see it, this could very well get NASCAR in tune with the modern times relatively speaking

Gimmicky. which come on people when most things are not a gimmick Clearly, most things like playoffs or incidents are super gimmicky.

    I don't mind them trying things. I think it is a cool idea. The season has been basically no one cares about the middle races. So it gives a little boost to those races that they desperately need. And if we are never getting rid of the playoff system. We need to create more of these things to help with the drivers having an incentive to win outside of just making playoffs. In fact I would like to see more of these type of things. (or get rid of the playoffs and get back to a strictly points based system again)

    Fans: “reeeeeee not that one!” Or “reeeeeee they wanna take muh V8 away for dem woke electric shiz!”
    Especially the OEM part. Was listening to Dale Jr. talk to Elton Sawyer and ALL the comments were just an angry mob that would like nothing but anything bad to happen to the guy. One comment was like “Sawyer should be arrested for killing stock car racing!” Like wut!? And then of course ya got the typical “NASCAR died when Dale died!” And “I’m done if NASCAR goes electric!” Like bruh then why r u here!? Like Sawyer was talking about how they’re looking if it’s possible running different engine types and then try to balance em. Like hell yeah, that’d be something cool to see. NASCAR needs to move away from the old cast iron block push rod V8 that no manufacturer uses slightly outside of pickups and American muscle cars. Plus it’s not like there won’t be engines that have the same growl as a NASCAR pushrod V8. Look at the Cadillac in IMSA and WEC, which btw is hybrid too.
