I feel like the tagline of the Craftsman Era of the Series is Tough Trucks and Tough Racing. Right now, nobody's happy, we are on our 3rd Straight Series Name and Logo when we had 2 Solid Before that, and that confuses fans.
The hands-off approach some of these programs take is worrisome. We have had the Worst First Time Series Champion in 2018, the Worst Season in 2019 and the Most Confusing Season in 2020. We should be pushing Todd Gilliand over to XFinity and pushing Hailie Deegan into Trucks.
Just going hard for prospects alone is not going to fix the series. I feel like we should see into the Educational Mission of the Series, like some of these characters are only interested in laps more than learning.
Eldora would be one of the most promoted races in Motorsports, not just Stock Car Racing, and having to claw that back does no favors. I find that just finding the people that are there are not going to help with promotion, as promotion is getting lost in the mail this year.
In "Not Enough of A Good Thing" Season, I would feel that the Truck Series would be parcel to a scene of a Gateway Raceday in IndyCars. It should be time for Refreshments rather than just Food and the epilepsy and the narcolepsy here is we are not getting a lot out of FS1 like some of these people make better posts than serious racers.
