On this week’s episode of F-R Racing’s Garage Talk, we look into the NASCAR Charter System, the upcoming sale of the Stewart-Haas Racing charters, and the economics of team ownership, TV deals, how filling the stands has become less of a concern in the era of massive TV deals, and how that will change in the future thanks to cord cutting and streaming. We also look into the big new iRacing updates.
NASCAR Charter System, TV Deals, Filling Seats Plus the Latest iRacing Updates
On this week’s episode we talk quite extensively about the evolution of TV deals, the NASCAR Charter system and what can NASCAR do to fill seats at tracks with poor attendance (Besides fixing the Next Gen car)?
On the second half of the show, we discuss the latest updates from iRacing including some new tracks, the Corvette GT3, and Mustang GT3, and major changes to how the Craftsman Truck Series trucks will drive. With four races to go in the Wednesday Night Dash season, how will that impact the competition?
