Isabel Collier+FollowHamlin Defends NASCAR Fans’ SmartsDenny Hamlin just called out Michael Waltrip for underestimating NASCAR fans, saying most of us know way more than the suits give us credit for. On his latest podcast, Hamlin pushed back on Waltrip’s claim that casual fans don’t get why superspeedway racing is frustrating. Hamlin says the real fans see through the stats and want real competition fixes, not PR spin. This feels like a shot in the ongoing debate over whether NASCAR leadership listens to its hardcore base or just glosses over issues. Thoughts? #NASCAR #DennyHamlin #MichaelWaltrip #FanVoice #Superspeedway #Sports00Share
romankimberly+FollowIs NASCAR Listening to Its Fans Anymore?Anyone else feel like the racing at Talladega just isn’t what it used to be? The Next Gen car was supposed to spice things up, but after Austin Cindric’s win, even the classic Dega drama felt flat. Fans are sounding off—Jeff Gluck’s poll hit a record low, with only 39% calling it a good race. Yet NASCAR’s Elton Sawyer is touting lead changes instead of real action. Are we just watching cars ride in line now? Something’s gotta give if they want us to stay tuned in. #NASCAR #Talladega #NextGen #FanVoice #Sports30Share
Judith Nelson+FollowTicket Woes for Shiffrin’s Superfans?Anyone else feeling the frustration over Milano-Cortina 2026 ticket sales? The Mikaela Shiffrin Fan Club just posted an open letter from the United Fans of Alpine Ski Racing, calling out the IOC for a lack of transparency. Top-tier A and B tickets for women’s alpine events were never even available! For a sport built on community, it’s tough to see superfans shut out. If the Olympics want packed stands and electric energy, they’ll need to rethink how they handle ticket access. #MilanoCortina2026 #AlpineSkiing #Olympics #FanVoice #Sports60Share
