That said I don’t always agree with him and I don’t think he’s right all the time either. I don’t think there’s an easy answer to this question about streaming revenue. I did a little research on it and it is hard to get anyone to reveal facts about the money and where it goes so I gave up figuring it will eventually come out. My opinion is it does more to promote the sport than it does to keep people away. Especially this past weekend at The Action Track. There was no competition from other races to stream Sunday night. My speculation is they did good numbers as far as viewership is concerned and probably some that watched the Big Car’s for the first time. What I think might be also tricky is that USAC as a series is signed on with Floracing. They probably get the biggest part of streaming revenue and the track gets what’s left. Now I don’t know any of this for sure, it’s just how I think it might work. I’m absolutely positive Robert knows more about it than I do, but I don’t know if he knows everything that goes into the equation. So to answer your question Nate. I love hearing Robert speak up and it doesn’t bother me in the least. But very few of us know all the details of streaming revenue and streaming benefits. I do know this, I’m looking forward to more of his comments even if he calls me an idiot

Agree. I love when people speak their mind reguardless if I agree with it or not. It shows their not some puppet and can speak for them selves. Just Like I agreed with the former president on most things. Not everyone liked what he had to say. Robert is outspoken and I like that. Seems like he cares more about racing than most others.
