More than half the races were at least 10 to 30 thousand fans short of a sellout, because NASCAR was no longer affordable for the average family.Not really a fan of NASCAR, but I enjoy the spectacle of heavily modified autos going vroom on carefully configured tracks on occasion. Except the accidents, of course.
Instead, it was marketed more for the business-class side of society, the same path that basketball, baseball, and football took.
The true NASCAR fans were basically forced to watch their favorite drivers from the confines of their own living rooms, instead of the mega-seat stadiums that were built to house the faithful who hung around to watch the sport slowly be destroyed.
