Cool to see them showing some of NASCAR's lower divisions we don't always get to see on TV. I'm especially happy to see the NASCAR Modifieds. I love watching the ground pounders.
2024 Season: Race 1 - April 20th Brownstown (Crate LM). Unlike many I don't discriminate on what racing I choose to watch.
I like the idea of the mods, too, and up front this looks good.
But somewhere down in my gut I can feel something like NASCAR buying Flo out and it becoming something different than what it is now. Maybe I have a Debbie Downer attitude about this, but my gut usually gives me the true vibes.

And many ,many more.
Sure. Lots of races. Right now. I'll put this in the memory banks. We'll bring it back in a couple of years from now.
When has NASCAR ever intervened in the past decade and things have gone positive for us IOW members?
If you are stifled, reference Speedvision.....SpeedTV...... FS1....

Don't freak out guys! This "NASCAR Roots" content has been available for a couple years now over on NBCSportsGold.com for, like, $5 per month. For those who aren't aware, NBC is shutting down the NBC Sports Network at the end of the year along with the NBCSportsGold platform. NASCAR simply needed a new home for these properties; a home that would put some dough in their coffers. FloSports' growth has simply allowed them to have the cash to pay NASCAR what I'm sure is a sizable fee.
If NASCAR was looking to purchase something here, it would have made tons more sense to purchase the platform that they were already on that is about to go out of business, amirite? Instead of spending money, they are receiving money. (Settle down, boys!)

No because purchasing the platform they were already on does nothing to rid themselves of competition.
They have a history of trying to destabilize competing series and "competing" is anything with wheels that races and gets too popular. It is what it is.
