Chase Elliott, a former NASCAR Cup Series champion, recently expressed his thoughts on what NASCAR could learn from college football, specifically regarding the length of the season. He noted that the shorter, more concentrated college football season builds anticipation among fans, which creates excitement when it returns each year. Elliott believes NASCAR could benefit from adopting a similar approach, creating a sense of “missing” the sport during off-periods, making its return more thrilling for viewers.
Elliott, an avid fan of the Georgia Bulldogs, also shared how the extra time off could allow him to enjoy more college football. He praised Georgia’s stable coaching environment and expressed pride in the school’s consistent support for its head coaches, rather than constantly rotating them out due to short-term results【19†source】【18†source】.
While NASCAR’s 2025 schedule has already been set, Elliott’s ideas could prompt future discussions on shortening the racing calendar to build greater excitement and engagement from fans.
