I'll freely admit - I'm one of them.
I was, for years, a HUGE NASCAR fan. I never missed a race, I would try to work my weekend around it... These days? I literally don't watch any races and basically just see what's happening from reactions of others on Twitter. It's sad, honestly.
What do I feel made me lose interest? Most of all, I think it changed too much. I don't mind some change, but 'the chase' was a big one that irritated me quite a bit. I always liked the fact that in motorsport the champion was generally the person who put in the best season long performance. They basically made it won or lose in one race and while that might be exciting (to some), it took away from the championship as a whole. It all just seemed pointless. Once that snowball started rolling and they piled on with other changes, it just continued to push me away more and more...
Has ANY series done this to you, if not NASCAR? What was your favorite era if not now?
