It’s a seven year deal not six and said to a be 40% increase in revenue for all involved.Call it an inflation increase if you wish or if it fits your agenda.Not sure what the surprise is? We already knew most of it. The good is an inflation adjusted increase. The bad is they only locked it up for 6 years instead of the 10 they had been getting. The other bad is it will be harder for fans to watch races I suspect Amazon’s interest is they know NASCAR fans may be a ripe group to increase members. Hope they share some of that with the teams to shore them up.
Yep, not sure where I got six from, probably my dyslexia. If you were being paid $20 to do a job for ten years and now you negotiate $25 per job you got a number increase but in real constant dollars you lost to inflation. It takes over $26 to get back to even.It’s a seven year deal not six and said to a be 40% increase in revenue for all involved.Call it an inflation increase if you wish or if it fits your agenda.
And some will not want to acknowledge it happened. As big of a NASCAR cheerleader as you are that you do not acknowledge the pinnacle of the sport because it is not as popular as it used to be is just funny. Funny in the same way Baghdad Bob once was…Them days are gone but I am sure some will still dwell on it….
Please define a “true fan” and describe how they differ from fans and how one would count “true fans” then and now. I doubt those numbers will impress sponsors…Yeah … everyone a FAN when something poplar True Fans are always there… thick or thin!
greg cares. And 10 races not on network is a lose.Who cares about viewers?
I was right. Contract better than the last one. NASCAR not dead yet.
No morenthan NFL and Amazon Primegreg cares. And 10 races not on network is a lose.
NFL plays ~272 games and 18 are on Prime. NASCAR around 36. It's called percentage in case you were wondering. Do the math.No morenthan NFL and Amazon Prime
Which is the comparison I keep seeing.
Business is about top and bottom lines.
Right about what? Right now viewers may not be as important as having content, but the day is coming so NASCAR better get ready, this may well be the biggest contract they ever get because once cable dies, and it will, there will be fewer suitors for all content.Who cares about viewers?

They did not take away Sunday or Monday games for Amazon, they had the Thursday games to bolster their NFL network and they shifted those to streaming. The NFL added games their brand is so popular since the two were close and competitive. NASCAR had ten races regular broadcast TV would not take, so they split them between cable and streaming…No morenthan NFL and Amazon Prime

Umm ok. It's Thursday night. The game is on Prime. You don't have Prime, which game are you watching?NFL plays ~272 games and 18 are on Prime. NASCAR around 36. It's called percentage in case you were wondering. Do the math.
Well. We can wait another 7 years and see if you are right.Right about what? Right now viewers may not be as important as having content, but the day is coming so NASCAR better get ready, this may well be the biggest contract they ever get because once cable dies, and it will, there will be fewer suitors for all content.
I explained in detail in this thread the unique media situation we are in now. Said they would get more money because of that unique situation. (If you forgot, old cable media desperately needs live content to remain relevant in a market heading to streaming, but not there yet, while streaming desperately needs to show they can get the live TV right to kill cable.)
In seven years the same few that was chanting “the money isn’t there or the deal would be done” will be eating crow again!Well. We can wait another 7 years and see if you are right.
“NASCAR had ten races regular broadcast TV would not take”…… that’s a BS statement the streaming people wanted a part of the action so they was offered six races which was not enough for them to commit the $$$$$ money so they got 10!They did not take away Sunday or Monday games for Amazon, they had the Thursday games to bolster their NFL network and they shifted those to streaming.

NFL doing OK these days. Why not NASCAR?
