NASCAR will be turning 75 in 2023. In these 75 years, there have been a lot of changes. Some were loved by fans, others weren’t. Fans continuously lobby for a rollback of the changes that they don’t like. But it is seldom that they are successful.

Some changes, like the overhaul of the Clash at the Coliseum, are completely and unanimously detested by fans. However, in all likelihood, these are changes that fans will have to make do with. But there are certain changes that fans might have a little bit of control over. Kenny Wallace, the NASCAR veteran, proposed a rollback to the olden days on his Twitter account.
He asked fans, “How many people would like to see some sort of ‘NASCAR Raceday revival’? We would do a show with the great @NASCAR race car drivers, and also bring back every single SPEED TV person during the show?”

He also mentioned how a pilot project was undertaken by Wallace and his team at St. Louis. It ended up being quite a success, as per Wallace. “We tested bringing back. “NASCAR RACEDAY” last year in St.Louis. It could happen again at some more @NASCAR tracks. Executives were SHOCKED and so was I.”

The experiment at St. Louis and the feedback Wallace has received from fans must provide great confidence. Will the media guys think of bringing this relic back?
NASCAR fans let Wallace in on their opinion
Wallace opened the floor up for fans to express their opinion on the move. If there were any doubts with regard to how successful such a step would be, the responses definitely allayed them all.
I would pay to see it.
I would definitely watch more pre race shows if it was brought back

So much about what makes the sport marketable or appealing comes down to spotlighting the at-track experience and Raceday made Sundays look like a must-attend spectacle. I miss it very much.
Look at all those NASCAR fans. Damn, these were the days at the race track.

Motorsports as a whole was at its best with shows like Raceday where there's a spotlight on all the little things, but also wrapping up the night with the Windtunnel/Dave Despain touching on everything to do with racing, was like we had our own sportscenter to cap off the week.

NASCAR events have become very different from how they used to be conducted earlier. The interaction between fans and drivers has slowly and gradually decreased. A return of the Raceday feature would bring back some of that fun.
