Dear Frontstretch readers,
After nine months and over 40 weeks of racing in NASCAR’s top three series, the season has come to a close once again. It’s been a tough year for the sport, with sagging attendance, sponsorship, and TV Ratings causing us all to question the series’ future direction at some point. But while the fans may not be hitting the race track or turning on the television to watch the main event, even the most jaded of fans has proven more than ever that you’re still interested in the various happenings surrounding this sport.
Why in the world would I say that? Because our site has hit record growth this year in the face of all this negative news.
