TheLionKing, I respect your views but I don't agree with them. I see fans go to NASCAR's Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama (The EA Sports 500 in the fall) and it's a single event with no Busch or Truck race prior to it, and it sells out. Lots of events in NASCAR sell out with Busch races like Pocono, why ? Fans can see the whole track and they see their favorite stars. I cant really answer for the fact that IRL attracts fans to Texas and Indy, and NASCAR attracts fans to the Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400, maybe they're distinguished events and CART simply lacks those distinguished events. I have to admit, I am not a road racing fan even though NASCAR has races at Sonoma and Watkins Glen, I think whether you're more of an oval racing fan or road course fan, your views on this issue can differ.
