RIP Speed Channel
This. Man. Speed channel was the best.
RIP nascar
trueee
The only US channel you could watch WRC highlights the same weekend of the event
Sad to miss but overjoyed to have ever been apart of that era. What a way to grow up!
-Dave Despain
-Spencers crying towel
-The engines Roar
-*CONSISTENT LIVERIES*
The consistent liveries thing is funny
When you could get die-casts at every store they had the same one all year because NASCAR was at its peak
Now that you can't get them anywhere and it's less popular but they have a different one every week and you can't buy them anywhere
Merchandise Haulers. There was something special walking around on the morning of the race and nearly every driver had their own merchandise hauler. I know they are back but it's not the same anymore.
Richmond is not the same anymore. Laburnum ave was lined up with soooo many outside vendors. Tons of fan stuff … all gone .
I remember when Phoenix raceway you didn’t need a ticket to access the merch haulers 😡
Trackside Live back then was like College Gameday for NASCAR fans. So much atmosphere, so much hype before the race.
Things I miss,
1. The old caution sound, like, the beeps when a caution comes out.
2. Dodge. They ain’t coming back which hurts even more.
3. Drivers having one paint scheme and sponsor for 2+ years.
4. Good nascar movies, like days of thunder, Talladega Nights, that’s pretty much it.
5. The good quality diecasts you could buy at Walmart. You can still buy them, but they suck. You can’t race them on hot wheels tracks.
That’s it.
Tbf I don't think Dodge is long for this world, killing off the V8 is going to be the biggest mistake they've ever made
1. We're not in 2005 anymore, when CGI and SFX were seen as breathtaking
2. Dodge is dead and buried. If Toyota got some criticism for being Japanese, Dodge will get rip from being Italian
3. Blame the 2000s administration for crashing Wall St into a literal wall... twice. 1 in 2001, and another in 2008
4. Herbie Fully Loaded, Cars 1-3, Stoker Ace, I guess aren't NASCAR movies
5. You guys had diecasts. In my local Walmart, it was just normal toys, no NASCAR ones. The closest was a lightning mcqueen diecast
We all Miss Chicagoland and Auto Club! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
nobody liked Chicagoland until it went away
Nobody liked Auto club until it went down to 1 date a year....
Auto Club started out with only 1 date. It only got 2 because it swapped with Darlington for Labor Day weekend (bad move, they wanted Easter and a playoff date replacing Rockingham, not take away a signature race). At least Chicagoland is being kept an eye on at the moment
Isn't auto club speedway becoming a short track
@@jeremyramberger5198suppose to, but it is not happening
Right there with you about Trackside/SPEED 😞
I used to love watching practice and qualifying after school. Not much was happening, but cars on track was the first sign that it was the weekend when I was in gradeschool.
End the charters and bring back privisionals. Make teams qualify to get in and if some small guy is fast enough, let him in. Make qualifying matter again.
R.I.P SPEED, the best racing channel ever!
NASCAR in general back then felt like NASCAR racing as well
I miss points racing, no overtimes, and the lack of side drafting.
I personally would add no stages to the list
@@Bumafa No stage cautions, possibly stage points since those are actually kinda interesting, but I can definitely see the argument against them all together
You can add Stewart Haas Racing to that conversation after 2024
Good list. I agree with all 5.
Here's a few of my own:
1. Adjustable rear spoilers
2. Winston Million/No Bull 5 programs
3. NASCAR embracing it's fast cars, beer, sex image.
4. Mechanical innovation and ingenuity
And I agree with your list, and allow me to add a 5th one:
NO CABLE OR STREAMING EXCLUSIVITY!!!!! NASCAR should be on the big network like the old days
@@S.K.R.E.Inc.why can't you people understand that Nascar need to go in the modern times, god dam y'all soo stupid.
I miss:
1. A points-based system for choosing a champion, one where all races count equally and season-long consistency is rewarded. Brian France had one job to do, and that was "Don't screw up a winning product." He failed. Miserably.
2. NASCAR bringing a new car out and it had actually been tested and worked as advertised. Oh, wait...
3. Fewer cameras and gimmick segments. NASCAR didn't always have so many cameras in their broadcasts. They were still good if not better because they didn't have to run commercials every five minutes to pay for them all.
4. Better announcers would be great. Clint Bowyer is a constant disaster, and Dale Jr. and Jeff Burton sound exactly alike when they get excited as their voices are the same pitch. At least they don't hire danicant...
5. Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain. Speed showed too many gimmick shows (the old SpeedVision showed a lot more racing), but Wind Tunnel was one of their best. Brad K's drunk victory interview was priceless, for example. I miss Jimmy Spencer too.
6. I know this isn't coming back, but tobacco sponsorship. Not just in NASCAR, but everywhere. I miss the Skoal Bandit, I miss Joe Camel Racing, I miss Marlboro sponsorship on McLaren F1 and Penske in Indy cars. I think the black John Player Special was absolutely iconic, and Mario won his F1 championship in those colors. And I never smoked, never considered it, but those cars just looked cool.
7. Yes, I'm aware that I'm old. Many new things are great (safer cars for one), but sometimes things don't always change for the better.
Cling Bowyer is great. Learn to laugh instead of being so serious. Fox and they garbage they present as a professional telecast is what's wrong there. Harvick is great too.
I miss it being Winston Cup but F smoking and the tobacco companies. That stuff always attracts kids to smoking. Don't want it around.
Dale Jr is with Amazon now.
I have watched Nascar for around 30+ years myself. I just do not understand all the crying from the "fans" about the points system now. It rewards more drivers for more situations. Used to be points for lead a lap, leading most laps and your finish position. That's it. Now you can build up points for the playoff by finishing high in any stage.
They regular season champ gets a big boost of playoff points.
Let me take you down memory lane for a second. Besides the rare outlier, almost every single season, the Champ had the thing won with a bunch of races left to go. Kenseth won, I think, one race all year and won the title very easily. That is freaking boring. This system limits how much success a driver has from just being careful and getting consistent top 10s and no DNFs. Screw that, this is racing. Every driver should be doing everything possible to win every week. That didn't happen with the old system. They reward winning and it also allows way more drivers to be in important situations more often. Back in the day if you were outside the top 10 in points, you were laughed at and considered a bum. Those guys were out there turning laps and getting a check. Nothing more. Now if you win, you have a chance. Remember when Gordon won 10 races but Terry Labonte easily won the title with one win and a bunch of top 10s? You can have that garbage.
Now guys like Harvick, Truex, Blaney are champs instead of a "good" career with three or four top three finishes but known as second tier guys. They aren't, they are Elite.
Humans have been terrified of change since the beginning of time. But change is good. That old system would have two or three guys winning it every year. I'll pass.
Part of trying something new is figuring it out. If you think anything on earth is perfect when it starts, you haven't experienced much in life. I love the current car. It looks really nice. And it's a challenge. It's the same reason F1 does the same thing every few years. These teams will figure out every way to cut corners and have these cars perfected if they never give them something new to work with. It also makes the cars on a closer overall playing ground. That makes for better races and more guys able to get a win.
So far this year, two of the closest races ever have happened. Last week Iowa was trashed by everyone then ended up as the best short track race all year.
I'm sick of the negative bs and the "I won't the old way back" "Nascar ruined it". Don't watch. The old days are old for a reason. Find positive reasons to watch instead of only being negative and the product will improve. A negative outlook will make anything you do feel bad. Grow up and act like an adult and it will be better. Kids and bitchy adults are never happy. That's on you. You choose to be insufferable.
We used to be able to watch a race for 5 seconds and easily identify every car. The sport is too expensive for any 1 sponsor anymore.
Crowning legitimate champions would be at the top of my list.
Idk how you feel but I hate the playoff and I don't think nascar sets up well for a playoff.
@@Bumafa Motorsports in general don’t make for a playoff system, it’s why NASCAR is the only league that has one. The system has been garbage since 2004. I honestly don’t know why I watch. It’s cheated so many drivers out of earned championships.
I miss them cutting away from commercials to show crashes or lead changes.
When they showed victory lane celebration instead of them only showing the winner at the front stretch
The general way NASCAR and the TV coverage handled most things in the 2000s into early 2010s was just done so much better, I want to get back to the way things were back then
Speed channel 😢😢😢😢😢😢
When a single major sponsor can afford to be on a car for a hole season. You can tell who car that is. Now it's 25 different sponsors for 36 races most of them I've never heard of.
I agree so much with the final one the most. There was a desperation of making sure you got the most points at the end of the season. That 27th was valuable for the 60~ points to not get 34 for last place.
Show the engine block, tape the car down, make sure you see the number and get out there for a points finish. Now its, "Eh... Next track we have a good record so we'll try for this one"
Bring... Back... Winston Cup Points
Charlotte Motor speedway kept sending me emails to buy NFTs for the Coke 600 last week
As someone who became a fan during the 2021 Daytona 500 rain delay I love these kinds of videos
2:09 I was at the Chicago Street race and they did have programs and they were really nice. Got one for $20. Also the Milwaukee Mile Truck race had a program.
Also at 2:50 IMS does give physical tickets if you want them for both Indycar and NASCAR
I looked everywhere for a program at the Chicago street course last year and couldn’t find one. They did have the 1:64 diecasts though.
I miss the days of Digger and Digger cam and The O.G CRANK IT UP!!!!🏁
I was behind you in line for the shuttle for airspeed and had no idea you were daily downforce 😂
I got physical tickets for the 2021 Pocono double and I believe the brickyard this year
I got a physical ticket at Nashville last year.
Great video but side note Talladega sells physical tickets and programs and you can get a diecast along with it
las vegas motor speedway still has regular tickets and neon garage passes
Wins are important under any points system its how many laps you complete.
Remember going to races during the Winston day and having people shove whole cartons of cigarettes at you?
The center door numbers, why NASCAR why? It's a door number and you took it off the door
Indianapolis is thankfully a track that does physical programs for their races still (sans 2020 if I remember right due to the pandemic). I haven’t bought one in a couple years, but I plan to with NASCAR’s return to the oval in July
-Ticker at the top of the screen
-NASCAR games actually being good or at least decent that aren't Heat Evolution or 21 Ignition
-The 2014 season (I'm kind of nostalgic for it)
-Spinmaster when they had the NASCAR Authentics brand
-Before the charter system
-Allen Bestwick on ESPN with Dale Jarrett and Andy Petree
martinsville speedway
Yeah I believe in the ticket thing😊
I miss having more cars trying to qualify, than the size of the field ( 43?)
That way, every car there has a chance of missing the race with poor qualifying laps.
To be honest, I much prefer local Saturday night short track racing over anything NASCAR has offered for several years.
I like drivers who are not afraid to get their fingernails dirty.
Really miss how a car’s handling could improve during the run and reeling in cars in front of him…instead of everything being decided in turn 1 of a restart.
Spot on video, couldn't agree with you more.
I can tell you now every track I have been to has had a track program I have on from the 500 the 600 the roval darlington pocono and bristol
Edit:Physical tickets still exist if you buy them at the track or go to will call you just have to go to the ticket booth you dont see them though because most buy them in advance and dont go to the booth
Miss Practice, Horsepower and great not to have to hear about NFT Diecasts Ever Again!
Hit the nail on the head!
Darlington still has programs and diecasts
Unpopular opinion: The Tandem Draft.
Really miss speed channel.
Auto club did programs from what I remember
I miss the gen 6 car with the H pattern shifter and an actual transmission and the 5 lug rims
Corporations are adhering to ESG look it up...
Stewart-Haas in its prime rip
I miss the race winning driver being interviewed in Victory Lane - Winner Circle.. not at the start/finish line wish NASCAR would bring that back!!
Bring back the old 5 lug nuts wheels, move the door number back to its original place. I also miss seeing North Wilkesboro Speedway as a points paying race for the NASCAR Cup series..
ye
Pepsi sponsoring Nascar😔
bigger sponsors i suppose
Stewart Haas Racing closing down after 2024 is a huge downgrade to the sport
NASCAR killed itself it tried to be something it wasn't.
Harold Kinder
Sunday Money

Season long championship battles. I used to be engaged all season long following the championship battle. Now all i have to do is tune into the last race to watch 4 random drivers who wrecked or lucked their way into the finale. The value of a championship is not what it used to be.
NBC please get rid of Rick Allen
Real drivers. I miss drivers who made it to the sport because of hard work, grit, and determination. Guys who actually pulled wrenches on the cars they drove. Now the only way a driver makes it is with daddy's $$, a famous last name, development program or grandpa owns the team.
Full Fri, Sat and Sun race weekend
Actually funny commercials
Old caution sound
Trackside live/speed
Ground cam with digger the golfer when there's a crash
And Full Sat to that next Sunday Daytona speedweeks
My list of things I miss:
1. Every single race is on network TV (meaning the big Fox and NBC)
2. The booth. DW, LMC ARE FOX, Allen Bestwick IS NBC. Nowadays we have hacks for booth presenters (not to mention the pit crew on Fox's side)
3. Crank It Up. Even though it's still used now, it either sucks or is skipped entirely for another cringe skit
4. ThunderVision. EA Sports and NBC were cooking with this one. Made the race a bit more appealing to gamers and young'uns
5. Sponsorship prescene. By this, I mean, if a company wants to become an official partner of NASCAR, they have to be established across ALL STATES NASCAR IS IN, NO EXCEPTION. Sunoco isn't on the West Coast, neither is Menard's, Advance Auto Parts isn't in the Northeast and west, and so on. Old sponsors were available everywhere (76, O'Reilly, Home Depot, Lowe's, NAPA, Sprint, Monster Energy, Winston), such a far cry from then
I really hate the DVP.
I know what I miss nascar not promoting propaganda and things many fans like myself don't like and I know what I'm talking about.
How about the season matters not anymore throwing cautions ever 50 laps heat racing and the playoffs suck
Doesnt NASCAR mean theyre racing STOCK CARS? The rule was you had to be able to buy it from a showroom somewhere. Which is why superbirds were seen on the streets. Now, we call it IROC. Everyone uses the same car, with different stickers, and engines. Superspeedway races are boring until the last 10 laps when 2/4s the field gets wrecked out...
And now pulling crap like not gonna let Larson run for the championship, because he decided to race the INDY 500?? What kind of BS is that? They keep this crap up, theyll be bankrupt in 5 years.
Damn, you're late or stupid. NASCAR gave Kyle Larson a waiver and those race cars have not been stock in 50 years.
How about REAL stock cars?
You all really want a system that rewards drivers that drive safe and don't try and win back in place? That's hilarious to me.
Almost everything you named has been changed or is worse in every other sport or event just like Nascar. Everything seems moronic now. That's life.
I stopped watching for around 15 years because I got sick of the points champion winning with a fourth of the season still to go. That was the worst thing ever. I love the current system.
Yeah some things are bad but some make sense. Fewer practices and less having the cars on the track saves money and keeps competition tighter. I enjoy a race where anyone can win.
Calling a win just dumb luck is lazy. Nothing wrong with any guy having a shot to win. How many years have yall watched where there were 20+ cars in the back that everyone knew were never gonna have a shot? That isn't fun.
Sponsors come and go. That's the sport. Always has been. It costs a ton of money and things change in business. I have no problem with a car having a different sponsor occasionally. That's mainly on the owners and drivers actually. They build those relationships and secure that stuff. Nascar doesn't control it.
I've use to go to races since 1987! I use to go to at least one race a year. Then in stopped pretty much in 2007. Went to Kansas in 2014 and tried to make it to Dover in 2023. The France boys and the non driver Elto Sawyer have ruined Nascar! And Fox totally sucks ! I will not get cable again just to watch the crappy FS1! In 2 mos. They only showed 1 race on broadcast Fox! It 's so boring with the Gen7 sports car that I won't spend the money to stream on Sling ! Apparently Fox thinks people want to watch Faux Football!
Fuck the playoffs and stage bloody tiktok racing.
Points rule, not wins.
NASCAR feels so hodge podge these days. I dont enjoy it at all anymore
WINSTON CUP RULES
TRASHCAR IS NASCAR
Can NASCAR remove stages please for the love of god this is not ball sports and I miss when it’s points system. For practice maybe even just a single 1hr practice will suffice it.
I sometimes wonder if joe biden is running nascar too!
I miss more than 5, Nascar sucks anymore
5 things i miss about old Nascar
No stages
No playoffs
Victory lane celebration
Single file restarts
And most importantly my all-time favorite driver dale Earnhardt
And fix the damn numbers.
The old point system, real racing, cool sponsorships, get rid of the morons running napcar.
