Earnhardt says less could be more in NASCAR
Dale Earnhardt Jr. knows there’s too much money to be made in Sprint Cup racing for it to happen, but he believes a shorter schedule would actually help stock car racing. “What’s happened is we have saturated the market with race after race after race,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “The NFL does such a great job. …It gives you just enough to keep you wanting more. The season ends before you want it to. You just get just enough to get excited and then it’s all over and there’s such a long wait. The model works.” Earnhardt Jr. said NASCAR is more like other sports with longer seasons. — Charlotte Observer
