NASCAR is indeed huge, and I think there are a lot of fans who follow if for the "soap-opera" stuff as KB said, and not for a true love and understanding of the sport. Soooo, I don't really think a well put on CC race run similar to a NASCAR race would draw as many fans over as we'd all like to believe (Isn't that kind of what the IRL was trying to do initially? I could be wrong).
We all know that person who knows very little about the skill and sport of auto racing, but is in love with Jeff Gordon. THey buy his hats and shirts, put a 24 sticker on their car, but can't tell a Lola from a Reynard and don't really care. I don't really have a problem with these people, since this is result of NASCAR's marketing - But I do of course wish that these people would try to love Champ Cars or any other racing as much as they do their beloved Jeff Gordon (who is in fact a great driver-I didn't mean otherwise).
