    Yet another nail in the coffin of NASCAR?

    Another one of the old school NASCAR top drivers is retiring, this time from the broadcast booth. Darrrel Waltrip has been entertaining, outspoken, and sometimes critical of NASCAR, now he is retiring from Fox Sports. As far as I am concerned, this is another nail in the coffin for NASCAR.

    So long, Darrell, it's been one helluva ride!

    Hate to see DW leave, but its part of the generational change I guess.

    Yep!
    And at age 72, I don't blame him one bit for wanting to be with his family more....

    Dang! I was thinking the same thing. Bristol seats 162,000, but it looks like there are maybe 50,000 in attendance... maybe? Compare that to attendance just a few years ago. Brian France's NASCAR has been a failure. Big Bill and Bill Jr. are rolling in their graves.

    For whatever reason FOX show no NASCAR at all as of last year.
    I normally only ever watched the road races and a couple of the big ovals but there are no options now.
    AS for FTA, they dropped NASCAR ages ago and their coverage was riddled with advertising.
    Supercars are heading in the same direction as NASCAR and have adopted 'parity' or 'BOP' which is a load of garbage.
    I think the low point in NASCAR for me came with that ridiculous 'Roaval'.
