​@@sociopathicnarcissist8810That's nice and all, but I'd rather he pay it in taxes, where everyone gets a say in where it goes. Instead it goes to charities that will do what he wants them to do with it. Much of the money he's donated has been to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation which isn't always using their donations for purely good causes. The foundation has done a lot of work to undermine public education. It's also used it's clout and the threat of withdrawing support to convince countries in the global south to respect US patents at a time when they need medications they can't afford to buy from big pharma. BG has much of his wealth in tech stocks, which are bouyed by the internation patent system, and that's not a coincidence. Buffet has also given a lot to foundations run by his children, who are likely to use that money to support things that benefit the family. Just like BG, Buffet donates stock not money. He will get a big tax deduction, avoid capital gains and stock dilution this way. Plus he gets a bunch of free press and people in YT comments saying he's a good billionaire. There's no such thing as a good billionaire. Nobody normal keeps trying to accumulate money after they have enough to provide absolutely decadent luxury for them and their next 10 generations.

​@lazarbro there was no "Before the Frances came in" Big Bill France Sr Actually built nascar, he is THE founder. He and Bill Jr were responsible for the greatness that was nascar pre 2008. The real problem with nascar and the teams was when the teams started bringing in more and more engineers and technology to get any advantage they could. In 92 Alan Kulwicki won the championship in an arguably underfunded operation with a budget on 2 million. In 98 the cost for Gordon's championship was around or above 10 million, 2008 was over 20 million and who truly knows what it costs today. But that arms race between Hms, roush, penske and gibbs has contributed more to them not turning a profit than nascar not paying enough.

The PDA collapsed shortly after and there's never been an attempt by drivers to unionize in NASCAR since.

Several of the owners are also billionaires, and those are the ones who are front and center in the Race Team Alliance. They want the Charter System in place to lock out smaller owners and protect their own slice of the pie. Most, maybe all,[*]of the organizations that have been forced out in the last few years are these smaller owners. NASCAR could achieve monetary balance without selling guaranteed starting spots to organizations that haven't missed a race in three to four decades and have consistently leveraged their own economic advantages to the detriment of smaller competitors. The only reason they don't go this route is because they're too afraid of causing the kind of destruction wrought in open wheel by rival sanctions going to war with each other. [*Stewart-Haas Racing announced its dissolution in the last few weeks. The Haas part of that equation is industrialist billionaire Gene Haas, who also owns a Formula One team. However, Haas himself is not leaving NASCAR entirely - he elected to retain a single charter while selling the other three and buying out the other namesake - three-time Cup Series Champion Tony Stewart.]

Charters reduced the playing field from 43 to 40 cars/teams in 2016 and now because charters only guarantee 36 teams a starting spot, sponsors rarely attach themselves to non-charter teams making new start-ups nearly impossible but going backwards to the days when you teams MUST qualify to race would once again give every team an equal opportunity to not only qualify for every sanctioned event but it would open doors to long term sponsorships that obviously pay the bills and open doors for smaller teams to race (remember the Start and Park teams).

Well the drivers make money, so we're only talking team owners. A few team owners are billionaires also, Hendrick, Penske and Jordan come to mind.

Less tax revenue isn't costing us anything, taxation is theft.

Just an FYI, the Charters can't just be stripped "at any time" - the performance clause of the system mandates that a team has to finish in the bottom three of owner points for three straight years before NASCAR has the option of stripping a Charter. Only one Charter has ever fallen into this scenario - the one attached to the No. 51 of Rick Ware Racing. It officially reached that scenario at the end of the 2023 Season. It remains in Rick Ware's possession as of 2024. NASCAR let them keep it because they claimed the team was showing "legitimate steps towards becoming a competitive Cup Series organization" - by signing a driver away from another team. The real reason they let Ware keep that Charter had nothing to do with this - NASCAR and the RTA want the Charter valuations to remain as high as humanly possible (one sold for US$40M at the end of 2023), and stripping a Charter with no compensation would pop the bubble they're in instantly.

I hate to break it to you but Rick Hendrick is also a billionaire. The reason his team "hasn't made money in 10 years" is because they don't need to. He makes money from selling cars, anything the team makes just gets re-invested back into it.

​@fred-ts9pb That's why I buy my cars and trucks from a dealership that has just the dealership. Mom an pop shopping. But when you have an issue.... the owners office is right in the show room floor.

It’s always the children of Billionaires that destroy the thing that was handed to them and they didn’t earn

Also, the IRONY that NASCAR donates to Liberty University and then they go and advertise on the hood of William Byron's car.

I was a season ticket holder at Texas Motor Speedway in the early 2000’s. It was packed. As soon as they changed the points system it got less crowded. Now TMS is in pretty bad shape. The road around it is terribly maintained. The whole property is looking like a salvage yard. These track owners/ and Nascar have ruined the sport. They can’t even fill up the front grandstand at TMS and they deserve it. I see nothing but things to continue to go downhill for Nascar when it comes to the teams, drivers and fans.

I'm with you tho, Nascar used to be cool!

How much cheaper was it to license Talladega nights versus real NASCAR 😜

With Nascar owning most of the tracks, it will be difficult to create an alternative organization. But they don't own them all. Nascar will cave, it would be so awesome if the teams just "went on strike" and stopped racing, Nascar is nothing without the teams racing, let them learn.

cant believe they have to pay for the tyres they should be getting 25 million per car and driver not 5.6m

I hope they just make a league of their own honestly. Keeping the charters is going to ruin the sport long term imo. NASCAR has always been a sport where independent teams have a seat at the table. Charters make it impossible for an independent team to exist at all for exactly the reasons you said. I don’t think any team should get a pass just because they’re popular. Everyone should have to qualify. Go back to the dirt track heat system.

I think you are arguing the exact opposite of what they were hoping for.

So effectively NASCAR gets 75% of the income when you account for track funds

The issue with NASCAR going Indy of the France family is that all the famous tracks that draw viewers (Daytona, Talladega, Texas) are also owned by the France family. They likely wouldn't let any "independent" league race at their tracks.

Wouldn't it be funny if the FIA stepped in and gave a reasonable stock car oval/road course formula proposal for the splinter teams and it took off? I think it would be hilarious.

NASCAR has all the best tracks and it would suck to see racing disappear from Daytona, Talladega, Darlington, etc. But I definitely don't think the bulk of the money should be flowing to the France family rather than the people actually putting their lives on the line. Maybe it's time for Speedway Motorsports to finally create their rival stock car series like they've threatened over the years. I'm betting the teams won't mind having 10 races at Charlotte, and they certainly won't miss the repair bills that come from "plate" racing.

Peak Nascar was 2000. It's been downhill since the chase began.

Sounds like Nascar needs a CBA...

But NASCAR doesn't want anything that resemble a union also they don't want it to be like the NBA/NFL where the owners and players run the show. Unfortunately for NASCAR the NBA/NFL may just be the cheaper and most profitable model for them. F1 will probably start to price themselves out as well.

NASCAR started it's downward spiral all the way back in 1971 with a rule change that eliminated any advantage that the any manufacturer might of had over their competition, this paved the way for what rules we they have today, it's not real racing anymore, at least on the basis of run what you bring, trying to separate yourself from the others, and my equipment design is superior, the bottom line is Nascar became garbage back then with these rules in the miss guidance of making it more equil, and has gotten worse since, Nascar garbage since 1971.

Taking the automotive engineers out of racing is probably the dumbest thing NASCAR ever did. Racing was always about horsepower.

You also forgot,In the new TV/ Charter agreements Nascar and The France family want to own a Charter and start a cup team, "Kinda like how Penske own's Indy car and Indianapolis Raceway." If the teams agree to that, It will be a huge conflict of interest. Having those who make the rules also competing in the series. Nascar needs to allow teams to own there Charter's an the Owners have a seat at the table. Just as every Major sport, Could you imagine if the NFL only leased the teams to the Owners and were expected to give them back to the NFL every new TV deal! Teams and drivers say they wont split like Indy car / Cart did back in the day, But here it is halfway thru the season and their farther apart then ever! If something BIG doesnt happen come Feb 2025 the Daytona 500 is gonna look really empty. Does Nascar really think without Hendrick, Gibbs, RFK, Penske, Trackhouse, 23/11, JTG, Spire, RCR, The Wood Brothers, Legacy Motors, RWR, Front Row and, Kaulig Racing that they will be able to put on a show and keep fans in the stands. It will be a Death Sentence!
