About this listen

In this no-holds-barred episode of the Carb Time Podcast, Matt Pierce takes the gloves off and dives into the decline of NASCAR, calling out how the relentless chase for entertainment has gutted the sport’s authenticity. From the overpowering influence of sponsorships to the erosion of traditional racing values, Matt delivers a raw, passionate plea for a return to simpler, more genuine competition.

We explore how larger-than-life personalities like Dale Earnhardt Jr. are caught between eras, why fans are fed up with surface-level commentary, and what NASCAR’s struggles mean for the future of motorsports—including Formula One. If you believe racing should be about grit, not gimmicks, this one's for you.
