I love racing...but when ESPN drops your sport, your grandstands are 50% empty, & TV ratings are in decline, you have serious problems.

From Jaysi's
ESPN & TNT decided not to renew with NASCAR: According to a Sports Business Daily report, ESPN and Turner ditched NASCAR  not the other way around. ESPN and Turner Sports each informed NASCAR in early July that they did not intend to bid on the available television rights packages, Sports Business Journal reported Monday. The rationale was similar for both organizations  declining television ratings made NASCAR a less attractive property. Turner, according to the report, "ultimately decided that more NASCAR races weren't worth the investment." ESPN, meanwhile, "had soured on the sport because of declining TV ratings, an aging fan base and a tough ad sales market." The report casts a somewhat negative light on both NASCAR  apparently abandoned by two high-profile broadcast partners  and NBC Sports, which will pay $440 million per year for rights through 2024.(Sports Media Watch)(7-30-2013)

nascar is not watched because the danica patricks of the sport ruined the game. take out the force-fed bullshit and watch the sport come back. and run more short tracks.

Nascar's declining ratings are due to the Obama administration indoctrinating our American children w/ Islam & Socialism.

Total value of #nascar TV deal with NBC/Fox is $8.2 billion. Deal with ESPN/Turner/Fox set to expire after 2014 estimated at $5.75 billion.

"serious problems" :lol:


Then apparently NBC drastically overpaid & left money on the table, since ESPN & TNT didn't even make an offer. Essentially, NBC was the only network interested. The half empty grandstands & declining TV ratings will eventually have to be addressed.
