On the track, 2010 was far from a lean year for stock car racing. But for all the on-track highlights of the season past, from Justin Allgaier topping teammate Brad Keselowski to score his first Nationwide Series victory at Bristol, to Denny Hamlin’s show-stopping performance to steal a grandfather clock on a Monday afternoon in Martinsville, to Jimmie Johnson staring down the toughest challenge to his now five-year reign at the top of the Sprint Cup ranks (however manufactured that points race may have been), there was no stopping a continually rising tide of negativity surrounding the NASCAR community.
Sponsorship woes plagued all of NASCAR’s top three national touring series at levels not seen since 2004, where only 45 cars showed up for the Daytona 500 in February.
