why is there so much coverage of NASCAR but so little of road racing?
SCCA, NASA, CHAMP CAR, FORMULA BMW, ALMS, even grand am
MARKETING - NASCAR has done a really good job at it since Winston came aboard in 1971. As Darrell Waltrip put it, "we have to put on a show, ....bump into each other & rub fenders". Prior to 1971 NASCAR had a following but not as strong as you see today. The IRL /CART-ChampCar split certainly hasn't helped the premier open-wheel series these past 10 years. In the 1950's & 1960's all of the attention was paid to Indy Cars, ( more properly name Championship Trail), since the Indy 500 was the GRAND DADDY of all U.S. racing attracting the BEST drivers of the day. The Indy 500 would bring in such drivers from Formula One, Sports Car, NASCAR, and even Drag Racers, Boat Racers, and Air Racers. With Today's Corporate "downsizing", many of the different name products out there are actually owned by a single Corporate 'mogul' not allowing as much money to go around. Thus they want to get the 'biggest bang for the buck', and right now NASCAR has it, leaving the other classes 'out to dry'. Plus TV broadcasting has not helped the other classes of Racing either. In order to see these other classes of racing on TV, you need at least Cable, and Time Warner does not broadcast SPEED on their basic Cable line up. At the same time, NASCAR 'swamps' their TV broadcasts on National Broadcast stations keeping them on the forefront of other classes on Auto Racing events. As for me, I love ALL types of Motor Sports, each have their own personality, afterall, there IS other forms of Auto Racing besides NASCAR. Go out and enjoy it Folks!
