I don't think S/Gas and S/Comp racers are losing interest ... but WHY go to a six day race, get treated like you are in the way and race against traveling pros with a trailer load of cars and tons of experience racing on different days with no times runs? It's skill set that as many guys want to roll the dice against any more.

Easier to take your toys and go to a "sandbox" that pays better, requires less time off work and you get to make some runs down the track, not stand around and watch; because they probably have no place for you to sit...you only paid what... about $300 for an entry fee and $100.00 for each crew person?

It's not popularity, it is most Super Class racers also bracket race and guys with Stockers have Indy as their biggest race of the year.

I loved racing there a few times, just never really got me interested in all the sitting around.
