Change is inevitable. However, fans did not support NASCAR’s decision to replace manually operated pole boards.

NASCAR used to have a board with the drivers’ speed and their signatures next to it. The board would sit in every qualifying session and be proof of the speed at which a driver went around the track. [{ "selector": ".oloji-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 452px))", "opacity": "75%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "75%"} ] }, { "selector": ".woduw-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-351px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

What was Marty Smith’s idea?

Recently, ESPN journalist Marty Smith shared a photo of the pole board on Twitter asking NASCAR to bring them back. [{ "selector": ".nzrjc-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 452px))", "opacity": "75%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "75%"} ] }, { "selector": ".dpdpr-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-351px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

How did fans react?

Fans showed their interest in the idea and their desire to reminisce about the good old days. [{ "selector": ".qsptx-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-352px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]
