They grew too big too fast and lost their core fanbase along the way.

They stopped going to many of the grassroots tracks in the SouthEast, the same tracks that was producing a good majority of their drivers in favor of the casual fan in the Midwest and Left Coast.

Plus, they brought too many pretty boy drivers up too fast that had shite for talent looking for the next Jeff Gordon.

Plus, for many years in their quest to make things "equal" they put a terrible product on the track. That Car of Tomorrow is one of the biggest boondoggles in sports history. My God those things were awful.

There are now a significant minority in the blue states who find the whole idea stupid.
Wastes fuel.
Occaisional wrecks.
Only cars with deep pockets sponsors can really compete.

I was all about NASCAR from the 80s to mid-00s and love watching the old races from the 60s and 70s. Also loved Indy until the split with CART.

May grab a glance every now and then, but it's not just see.
