Are you a die-hard Dale Earnhardt Sr. fan in the Charlotte area? Can NASCAR/FOX interview you for an upcoming documentary?

Hi all, My name’s Griffin, I’m a producer with NASCAR Studios. In partnership with Fox Sports, we are producing a documentary to commemorate the upcoming 25th anniversary of Dale Earnhardt’s passing next year. This is well-covered territory, of course, including the “Earnhardt” series we produced for Amazon last spring. However, the angle we’re taking is more about the impact Dale’s passing has had on the sport and American culture across the past 25 years. How did the sport change in response? Why are fans still so connected to Dale and his legacy, etc.? We are in search of some dedicated fans to interview for the documentary in the Charlotte, NC area the week of 10/20. We want to talk about why Dale appeals to his fans, how they’ve stayed dedicated throughout the years since his passing, how did their relationship to the sport change, what are their memories of the day he died and the time following, etc.? If you're based in or near Charlotte/Concord, let's talk! We'd like to find some folks that are still dedicated fans of Dale Earnhardt and can speak to his lasting importance on NASCAR and American culture at large. Thanks! submitted by /u/griffinzane [link] [comments]

Should the crew chiefs be spotlighted more to increase fan relatability and inspire young people?

Since most fans have a hard time relating to most of the drivers nowadays, maybe the crew chiefs should be marketed and spotlighted more. Not every young fan can instantly relate to young drivers purely on age, because many of them were born into wealth and have been racing since they were kids, so they only provide envy. There's so much more to success this sport than just driver performance. It takes a whole team and a smart crew chief and knowledgeable engineering staff to win and get results. Crew chiefs tend to have more modest backgrounds and middle-class upbringings and they got to their important role by working at it. Its much more relatable in my opinion to show younger fans, especially those who are technically minded, that there is a path to Cup series glory that rewards merit rather than money. This could inspire young kids who love building legos or are in stem classes in high school to pursue mechanical engineering and work their way up the ranks to a top team. I would like to recognize the names of new crew chiefs more by hearing their name a bit more back when they were engineers. I was pleasantly surprised to see how close the stats were for all-time wins between active crew chiefs. Its never discussed as much as driver win records but Paul Wolfe has 43, Adam Stevens and Alan Gustafson have 41, Rodney Childers has 40, i think this would be fun to follow.

Because I Love NASCAR, I Choose to Believe…

Lord knows there are things about NASCAR that drives me completely bonkers right now and maybe the only reason O’Donnell was on with Jr. today was for damage control and to try cool everyone’s jets, but after hearing this interview, I choose to believe that NASCAR is trying to listen to us and knows they really stubbed their toe. Call me naive, gullible, whatever, but maybe, just maybe, they are committed to a shift back to what hooked all of us 80’s and 90’s kids in the first place. I appreciated O’Donnell’s seemingly genuine answers and NASCAR’s willingness to adjust. However, this is the 2nd time they have admitted to going too far out on the limb to try and gather the “new fan.” I pray it doesn’t happen again… submitted by /u/FWard24 [link] [comments]
