It's hard to predict the future but here it goes. One New Jersey track will be gone in 5 years possibly 2 in 10 years. The days of 30-plus fields for Special races are done. Tracks will struggle to get 20 car fields weekly. Across the country, a large majority of tracks will fold. Due to rising costs and a lack of fan interest. Unless tracks start allowing straight rail frames. Street Stocks will no longer be able to exist within 10 years due to the lack of OEM Frames being available. It's been several years already since the OEMs stopped manufacturing full-size frame vehicles. The majority of the posters here on 3-wide will stop attending races in 5 years. On another note, the only team that packed it in was the 126, I'm not sure of the others you are referring to. You have to realize the 126 team has been around since the middle of the 1980s. The owner did take a break for several years in the past. This leads me to the next prediction for the next 5 years, Jimmy Horton, Brett Hearn, Danny Johnson, Alan Johnson and a few other vets will pack it in.
