So what qualifies you to attack him? What qualifies you to attack a generation? Seems to me he was responding to an unprovoked and overly generalized attack on a generation that you posted first.... but anyways...
Back to the topic, I think JohnRodericks' post about the money and failure to adapt as a root cause is spot on.
Drag racing is still popular, its just that people have other events that bring more excitement and value for the dollar than the NHRA.

I didn't "attack" his generation, and
certainly didn't attack him (how could I, when he hadn't yet posted his response to my original message?), and I doubt that anybody who reads my post would come to the same conclusion you did. I made some general statements about millennials in my original post, some of them admittedly sarcastic, but was careful not to "attack" them. But if I had, my qualifications would be age, education, work and life experience and the ability to understand what I read and see, on the street, on the news and on television. People don't generally impugn another person, culture, country, etc. without
any reason, and this is no different. I made an amply
demonstrated observation (i.e. millennials don't participate in the car culture to the degree that previous generations have), and his response (and apparently yours, as well) was that I'm picking on him and his generation and that because he likes cars, all of his millennial brothers and sisters do, as well. Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar...
