With NASCAR on hiatus, this seemed like a good time to check in and see where race fans stand on some of the most hotly debated and discussed issues in the stock car world.



The Athletic put together a survey containing 24 questions about NASCAR, including everything from the best current driver, the reason for NASCAR’s decline, whether fans prefer playoffs over a season-long championship, the track that should get dropped from the schedule and how voters perceive today’s NASCAR leadership.



Obviously, this isn’t a scientific poll. First of all, we’re on the internet; there’s a high margin of error. Second, it’s just for subscribers of The Athletic who follow NASCAR (so this tends to be a more passionate, dedicated group).



But over the last four days, we received a great response — roughly 1,700 votes — which means we can at least get a sense of how people feel about these topics.



I really enjoyed digging...
