When the new Nascar series begins next year, there are some big concerns. There has been a drop in commercial advertising and some other kinds of things. It’s also not clear whether the fan base is holding out the way that they want them to. There are a lot of fans who can’t afford to come to a race anymore, if they got laid off or have seen their incomes drop. Some people have attributed the drop to other problems, like the fact that Jimmie Johnson just keeps winning. According to one columnist, there’s a big branding problem, because the sport tried to get fans nationally and it hasn’t worked as a long term strategy. But that’s not really true. The fans from around the country are still getting used to the characters in the sports. They haven’t had much time to enjoy their different quirks and such yet. Give it time and I’m sure it’ll work out for Nascar.
