Am I the only one thinking NASCAR is boring now?

I’ve loved NASCAR for nearly 30 years, and still watch religiously — still the same stat nerd I’ve always been. But lately, man…it’s just felt stale. It’s weird: the racing is somehow both unpredictable and completely predictable. Sure, we don’t always know which team will show up and dominate, but once they do, that’s it. The guy leading by lap 20 will probably be there at lap 200. The rest of the field? It’s like they’re locked into position before they even start. And it’s not just us fans seeing it. The drivers’ pre-race interviews say it all: “Just hoping for a top 15 today.” “Car’s not great, might hang around 12th if we stay clean.” You almost never heard that level of resignation years ago — even mid-pack guys still talked like they had a puncher’s chance. Also, the “dominance” feels different now. I love watching a rocket ship of a car destroy the field — lap the top teams, totally dialed in. But lately? It’s one dominant team, one car inching ahead after each restart, running 5-7 car lengths out front like someone impatient on the freeway. It’s not fun dominance — just…tedious. And don’t even get me started on the coverage. Anyone else noticing this, or am I just finally becoming that jaded old fan yelling at clouds? #NASCAR #sports #Nostalgia
