crowds for practice and qualifying for whatever reason died several years ago . In fact Na#car’s popularity has had a steep drop. Although it appears to have stabilized and may be growing a little. When attendance and tv viewership began to drop I thought rule changes and fake cautions and other bs was the culprit. I’ve changed my thoughts in this. I now believe that an aging fan base and the disinterest young people may be a leading factor. I actually think that these factors are affecting all of Auto racing. Many short tracks are not doing well. The car culture as a lot of us are very familiar with has died.
