Did NASCAR Turn into WWE When I Wasn’t Looking?

So I turned on a race last weekend for the first time in a while and… what the hell is this stage racing playoff madness? Felt like I was watching some rigged reality show. Where’d the pure “fastest car wins” vibe go? Back in the day, we’d sit for hours just to see who had the best long-run car. Now it’s like they’re throwing competition cautions to keep things spicy for TV. I miss when it felt earned. Am I just getting old, or does anyone else hate these gimmicks? #NASCAR #WWE #RaceDrama #OldSchoolGear #HotTakes
