“The Shady Bunch” (aka The NASCAR Management Theme Song)

(Sung to the tune of “The Brady Bunch Theme”)

This is the story/ of racing series/ who was on the verge of beating the N-F-L/

Till Along Came A Wanna Be Marketing Genius/ Who screwed it all up making “The Chase”/ that makes the fans all want to hurl…

It’s a story/ of a man name Helton/ Who claimed to be a friend to  the legend know as Dale Earnhardt/ But As soon as Earnhardt had passed away/ he joined in  all the bullsh*t / …..the same garbage that’s tore our series all apart…. 

Till the one day when this team put there heads together/ and found a way to sellout even more/ They let Toyota help design the COT/ and turned every race into a advertising whore…

Yes I know this… and it’s much more than a hunch/ now our races are filled with manipulations/ and that’s the way they’ve all became THE SHADY BUNCH

THE SHADY BUNCH! THE SHADY BUNCH! 

That’s The WAYYYY THEY ALL BECAME THE SHADY BUNCH!!!!!

SAVE NASCAR: Sponsorship Woes Mean Our Sport May Soon Need Life-Support

Don’t look now, but there is a dark grim reaper hanging over NASCAR’s bed. The sickness has come so slowly  that the average fan probably still doesn’t see the plague overtaking the sport. It’s the elephant in the room when it comes to corporate NASCAR and NASCAR’s teams. But the sports health is showing signs of declining .  The issue? Major NASCAR teams are starting to have sponsorship issues. 

This week on both TheFrontstretch.com, and in the SceneDaily emails, were articles making mention of Matt Kenseth acquiring 5^th/3^rd Bank as a new primary sponsor for several races. While this looks good on the surface, the truth of the matter is it’s actually a very telling sign of how dire things are when you look at the overall health of the sport.  When a former Cup Champion driver who is currently sitting 2^nd in the Cup standings is having to hodge podge together sponsorship (in Kenseth’s case using 4 different primary sponsors thus far this season) , something is not right in the world of NASCAR.

Sure, the economy’s bad. Blah, Blah,Blah…. I already hear the sheep bleating! But let’s get real here for a second:  If the sport was still the marquee form of auto racing in America, as it was in the 90’s…. Do you really think we’d be seeing this issue occurring?

For all the things NASCAR is trying to do to distract from the poor state of the sports health, including the “not so green….green initiative” with the “Ethanol” in its fuel, to the much ballyhooed EFI chips that are 20 years outdated,  it seems that NASCAR media and majority of its fans seem oblivious to the fact the Brian France’s poor decisions are finally catching up with the entire sport. I would suggest that you all stop watching out for your paychecks and start speaking up about the problems you see… before it’s too late to save the sport. Otherwise, the disgruntled among us are going to start reaching for that plug….

Along with the increase in media criticism of NASCAR’s “mystery cautions” following Richmond, I discovered a fan taking it to NASCAR via a banner he is going to display at races to protest NASCAR’s insistance on trying to keep Red Vogt from getting his rightful recognition as the true founder of “NASCAR”…. (It was NOT Bill France who incorperated or came up with the name)…. It was Red Vogt… and yet, Vogt’s name has yet to be found on a NASCAR HOF ballot… Why?

This banner was made by fan Don Betke, in protest of NASCAR's insistance on shunning Red Vogts rightful place in history as the TRUE founder of NASCAR....

SAVE NASCAR: PTC’s Journal (2/21/2012)

If you can't beat em.... (My tongue is FIRMLY in cheek HERE!!!! )

This weekend marks the official beginning of the 2012 season, and honestly it may be my last season running this site. I am writing this to kind of bare my soul to my fellow fans and to my readership. I want everyone to understand a few things about myself, my site, and what my mission in doing this has been. I’m gonna cover that right off the bat, before moving to some more notes about the upcoming season:

1. Explaining myself and my site- First and foremost, I want everyone to know this site is a labor of love, and an expensive one at that…. I have tied up over $3000 dollars in building, promoting, and marketing this site. I didn’t do this for profit. I did it because the SPORT of stock car racing meant something to me. It has been a huge part of my youth. It was a bonding point for my family throughout my childhood…. And to see it sell out and become so “fake” has hurt me on a personal level. A few years ago NASCAR was using the slogan: “Mine. Yours. Ours. NASCAR” …. That is a falsehood. NASCAR doesn’t cater to its fans. It’s a corporate shill and sellout  even when it is at best. It is the biggest mockery of all professional sports” sanctioning bodies” when you really take your blinders off….  It ticks me off to no unholy end that NOT ONE “big name” in the entire sport has the guts to stop the endless cheapening/corruption of once was a true sport in the name of “marketing”. I honestly don’t know how you all sleep at night… but I’m sure the big money paychecks help….

         2. It’s gonna be Danica, Danica Danica, Until  We See That Danicant – Barring a miraculous turn of events where Darrell Waltrip suddenly remembers he is supposed to be a unbiased announcer instead of a NASCAR marketing tool…. We are going to hear about Danica Patrick ad nauseam until we all want to throw our remotes through the TV…. (This will start by lap 3 or 4 of the Daytona  500 and will repeat itself in EVERY race Danica enters.) Gentleman, start your mute buttons!!!  We got a good preview/ indicator of this during the Shootout. We had to put up with Danica in the booth, on commercials, and being interviewed about 3 or 4 times during the broadcast. Talk about OVERKILL…..

 3. I want to reiterate: NASCAR issued EFI chips will be the magic pill for NASCAR.  Dale Jr will win some races. Conspiracy theory? Maybe. But what would YOU do if you were NASCAR and could make it happen?  Enough said….

 4.Several people have asked for my email address…. I am working on re-adding a contact form to the site. If this does not work, I will be re-posting the “Contact Us” page so that you all can manually take down my email address….

I look forward to another season of sharing my NASCAR perspectives and opinions with the world. Hope ya’ll have a great 2012!

Sincerely,

PrimeTimeChuck
