NASCAR's Nadir
This from Gaetano Catelli:
NASCAR: Another Theater in Globalism's War on Working Class Americans.
The Decline and Fall of NASCAR
Tim adds:
AND NASCAR has started adopting this "woke" nonsense and promoting "social justice" issues. They are pissing off their fans with it. This at a time when they are being squeezed from economic pressures outside of their control. I don't know how these Progs get in positions of authority in every organization but they do. (Look at the Boy Scouts for another example). NASCAR has sliced it's own jugular.
NASCAR: Another Theater in Globalism's War on Working Class Americans.
The Decline and Fall of NASCAR
"Darlington, SC, was a textile town with a track known as "The Track
Too Tough to Tame.†It had two big races every year, including one on
Labor Day weekend. But in 2005, it lost one of its races and was poised
to lose the other. This would have been the final blow to a town
already reeling from globalization and the closure of local mills.
"This was not lost on Bennet Deane, president of the county’s Chamber of Commerce. "We have felt the effect of NAFTA. It’s kind of like getting hit when we’re already down,†he told the New York Times. "We felt like we were a victim of NASCAR’s success. We were a part of the success growing it and getting it to this point, and we’re kind of getting left behind.â€
"What was true of Darlington was true of many other towns across the Southeast. Kannapolis, Dale Earnhardt’s hometown, was at one point in time home to the largest textile factory in the world. Its No. 1 Mill was a massive complex, larger than the Pentagon. The neighborhood where Dale grew up was known as Car Town, with streets named "Chrysler,†"Ford,†and "Chevrolet.†People there loved to tinker with cars and race them.
"Then the company that owned the biggest mill, Pillowtex, started feeling competitive pressure from Mexico. Unwilling to save itself by offshoring, Pillowtex filed for bankruptcy in 2003 and caused the largest layoffs in the history of the state of North Carolina. It was bought up by a conglomerate and shuttered."
