“Kyle Larson, You Are the New Champion of the World” – NASCAR Fans React as “Global Championship” Speculation Begins

NASCAR majorly has been an all-American racing series. However, of late, expansionist activities have started in the sport. Recently there is speculation that NASCAR plans to expand itself into a global championship and not just restrict itself to the American borders.

Journalist Adam Stern stated, “@NASCAR wants to eventually have a common chassis across all of its different international series so that it can create a global championship.“

NASCAR has announced that the NASCAR Brazil Sprint race will be a part of its next international series. The new race will actually be the reincarnation of the existent GT Sprint Race. This will be yet another series for NASCAR’s international series portfolio alongside the ones in Canada, Mexico, and Europe.

Plans for such a global championship might be the catalyst NASCAR needs, mostly since it already suffers from a dwindling fan base in the US. Moreover, since Formula One has been garnering an increasing number of eyeballs in the country, the only logical option for NASCAR is to diversify itself further and be a more global sport like F1, eventually. However, for NASCAR to expand into an all-out global championship, they would have to make sure that there is a standard chassis implementation across the entire series.

Fans react to plans for global expansion

NASCAR left the fans in anticipation and overall enthusiasm ever since they heard of their plans to drift into a global championship. While just like any change faces some resistance, there are a few old-schoolers who prefer sticking to the basics. However, in this case, the majority were pretty excited to see what was in store for the future.
