20 years ago NASCAR was at its peak, it was like you described in lots of places. There were NASCAR stores in Iowa and Minnesota. They built a track (Iowa Speedway) in Newton, IA. Fast forward to today and you don't see near the fans or interest. The Iowa track still has races and find well, but you don't see nesr the gear you used to.
I bet it's like that in that area of Pennsylvania?you were living in.

Iowa really has suffered since it lost the sweepstakes to get a cup race that Kentucky won
It's too long to explain but it's all about who the track's parent company is

You're right about the peak being 20 years ago. I would say 2004 was when it started to take a plunge.
