NASCAR’s Big Bet: Streaming or Spinning Out?

NASCAR just shifted gears, teaming up with Amazon Prime Video to stream select races. Sponsors are revved up, seeing this as a golden ticket to reach digital-first fans. But will longtime viewers follow the action to a new platform, or does this risk leaving diehards in the dust? Is this the future of sports broadcasting, or a pit stop on the way to something bigger? Let’s debate! #NASCAR #StreamingWars #SportsTech #Tech

not about to pay to watch racing, NASCAR has gone downhill since they started stage racing. I agree that fox hasn't picked the best announcers and the replays or lack thereof is an issue. The price of going to the races has risen past the point of being able to go,now we don't even get to watch without paying to. NASCAR is losing its following, myself included.

Spinning out big time. With all the ridiculous changes and now switching to PPV, they might as have signed their own death warrant.

I think the evidence is obvious while the Indy 500 was packed over 300,000 fans and on nationally broadcast the TV. The Coca-Cola 600 had empty seats in was on a streaming service.

seems like a bad move to me.. I hated missing the race because I don't have that prime but I've gotten kinda used to missing allot anyways because I just have the regular broadcast channels like NBC, CBS, abc and Fox.. I miss all the races that are on them cable channels, and now the ones on prime too. but worse was my mother is a diehard race fan and called me sounding like she was in tears cause the race has started and she couldn't find the channel.. I had to break it to her out was in prime for next 5 races or so. now I gotta listen to her counting down the weeks until she can watch another race.. that really upsets me. I'm not near as interested in even watching now because it's hard to keep up and stay excited when you miss a bunch of races in-between
