NASCAR finds itself in the middle of a storm right now. The Joe Gibbs Racing drama between Denny Hamlin and Ty Gibbs hasn’t cooled down, even after team meetings. Then, just as the dust starts to settle, Rodney Childers’ shocking move to JR Motorsports drops in real time. And if that wasn’t enough, the Cup Series ratings at New Hampshire reached historic lows, forcing everyone to ask whether NASCAR’s TV product is losing the fight against football, streaming, and its own complicated system.
The fallout from New Hampshire has set the tone for the week, and the bigger picture is clear: NASCAR is juggling on-track drama, major personnel moves, and a TV ratings crisis all at once. The tension inside JGR, the shockwaves of Childers’ decision, and the ugly ratings data are all connected by one truth — the sport is at a crossroads, and every move made now could define its next decade.
