Ratings-wise... team sponsorship-wise... I think they are. 3 attempts at green white checkers... the wave around rule... double file restarts... Nascar is doing everything they can to attract viewership.

The 48 is top dog... this is not in dispute. However... the problem for Nascar IMO is that it NEEDS to attract NEW fans to make up for the old school fans who've stopped watching or going to races for whatever reason.
Alot of people stopped watching when Earnhardt died, or they latched on to Little E for a short time. This wasn't a problem because A LOT of new fans started watching (like me, lol) to make up for the loss. This is not the case anymore IMO. Plus, IMO current and new Nascar fans aren't like the diehard old school fans anymore either... if things get boring they will tune out.

IMO the easiest way to attract new fans is to create a rivalry... Jimmie has no rival until someone beats him. How are they even going to market next year? Jimmie's drive for 6? I'm pretty sure only 48 fans will tune in for that. LOL. Maybe if he wins next year then they can market him as going after Petty and Earnhardt, but even then his rivals would be drivers from Nascar's past... and not its future.

This is true... it would help immensely if other drivers stepped up and just flat out beat the 48, but if Nascar's best plan is to hope someone steps up... they are in trouble IMO. LOL. Nascar is a business after all.
