She pointed towards something she wants everyone to “think about it.” She said as a driver, one wouldn’t want to sit in the car for half the race if the length is shorter.

“Nothing happens during most cup races till the last stage for that reason. Also if you want younger fans to take interest, you have to keep in mind there attention span is shorter,” Deegan wrote.

However, Hailie Deegan wasn’t the only one in her criticism of the average NASCAR race length. Another star, from the Cup Series, Kevin Harvick also had voiced his disapproval of the time races tend to run for.

“I think the Daytona 500, obviously, needs to be 500 miles. And the Coke 600 could be debated. But the rest of these races, they shouldn’t even allow them to have 500 mile races,”  Harvick said.

“They to me seem like a thing of the past.”
