The Long Reach Of NASCAR

Written by George Katinger · January 2, 2005

The bigger the company, the more defensive they tend to get. With more money at stake the quicker the response.

Dave Laurence has picked up on several racing related decisions and thinks the long reach of corporate NASCAR is influencing things. Being a conspiracy theorist of long standing with more than enough paranoia to support it, I tend to agree with his premise. If NASCAR doesn’t think you’re promoting their own best interest or image, you’ll find that 600 pound gorilla sitting where it wants to, on your chest.

The cancelling of “Pitbull” is truly a loss to the sports fans. It offered sport Journalist’s opinions on all manner of NASCAR topics without the corporate brand imposing any restraint. Hence, no doubt, its demise.

The other three incidents cited are not as obviously linked to the suits in Daytona, but the possibility is obvious. Not a good sign of things to come!

    Hey look George is alive, hope the Holidays were good to you and the family.

    I read the Laurence piece a few hours ago and kind of laughed under my breath. If his assetions are correct it would only indicate NASCAR is becoming more like the NFL or MLB.

    Unlike F1, where claims are made on driver cocaine use and idiots wanting $50k “failure” penalties, two of my hot topics lately, where everyone is flapping their lips uncontrollably.

    Thanks, Marc, same to you and yours.

    Is this the “Silly Season”, or the “No News Season”? can’t remember such a dry spell of info like this before.

Got something to say?
