2021 “Next Gen” will bring NASCAR’s first-ever independent rear suspension, sequential gearbox

I see it happening to the NHRA too. Bottom line in my opinion is not enough of the younger crowd is interested in NASCAR, NHRA or even muscle cars as we know them.

Agree i believe all of these you mentioned have peaked. The younger generation doesn't have the interest and money to support these. Its a sad change we are seeing.

I spoke to a collector, he’s selling his car collection off in the next few years, and keeping just a few. Thinking these are going to drop in value as time goes on, the younger generation isn’t into these cars. You like what you grew up with.
We used to get some nascar cars into our booths at the auto show, it’s just a shell with decals for everything. It change along time ago and I’m surprised it kept up.

Eh, eventually everything changes and things go away, but I've heard it too many times that we'll see the end of interest in brass era cars, hot rods, muscle cars, and cars in general. I think as long as man has the desire to move and to see new things, the love affair with the car will last. I do, however, acknowledge that it won't remain the same as it is now and changes will occur, but I don't think it will end. Everything, and I mean everything, is cyclical, and I think that kids/people are going to eventually get tired of sitting around looking at these stupid little screens and get out there and do stuff. Could be wrong, but that's OK, I was wrong once before.

Will John Force Racing still have Chevrolet as a sponsor moving fwd ???

My friends at Hancock & (Jeff) Lane Racing built the eCOPO (All Electric) Camaro
for GM as a advertising publicity tool. Lane and company are currently wanting to
sell the one off eCOPO.

I would love to see NASCAR go back to the era of stock bodied cars running the original engines, modified of course, just like the old days. Imagine the sound of screaming LS7's, Coyote's, and Hemi's battling it out. The cubic inch displacements would need to be adjusted to be fair but this would be entertaining. These non production, purpose built engines should not be allowed and racing the production engines would also help improve durability overall.
