[QUOTE=JohnRoderick;577777]While there are many factors, the downfall to NASCAR and the NHRA is mostly about the money.

Thus, we are left with nepotism and the extremely rich as the face of auto racing, as opposed to the most talented or entertaining.

Sad but true and very well said. I always get a kick when the TV announcers talk about how "talented" some particular pro racer is. In reality, there are literally hundreds of sportsman racers just as talented, but they don't have the "financial backing" to race with the "rich and famous".
