Why is NASCAR Dying ? Video !

There are a lot of drag racers, a lot of people and a lot of sanctions/organizations who are deeply involved on some level. Brackets, sportsman, and all of the other varieties (no prep, radial, N/T, PDRA, NMCA) and a wide variety of vehicles. A lot of guys and gals, spending a lot of money to do this, in many different ways, with there always being someone willing to take their money. It seems to me it's the Pro cars (TF,FC,PS) that are not what they once were, simply because of the price to play, and many people are seeing that as the demise of the entire sport. Does the existence of drag racing and stock car racing really depend on if it's on every TV set in the country?

Is it really wise to structure the entire show to cater to the "casual" fan? Do we really have to make it so simple that any dummy can wander in off the street and have an understanding of what's going on? Do we have to do away with dial-ins, breakouts, handicap starts, throttle stops, CICs, etc, etc, in order to dumb it all down for this "casual" fan? Do we need gimmicks *cough*countdown*cough* to keep "casual" fans engaged and spending money? I see the word "casual" meaning, not very invested, able to take it or leave it and not very aware of the history, rules, differences in the classes.
