Out of all the "open wheel" racing we could discuss, it is my impression that only drag racing could be considered to have positive growth in the "commercial" aspects of the sport.
Pick up a copy of National Speed Sport News and see what they complain about............dirt tracks where other "open wheel" cars run are closing up, costs are driving competitors out. Even sprint car racing is having it's own problems. It was 3 or 4 years ago world of outlaws almost had a split in that series, to be headed by Richard Petty, remember that one.
US Indycar style racing is dying a huge component of that has been the split.
A1GP and even the "Past Masters" racing series are dead or dying as a series.
Time is dealing a long slow kill to US Indy style racing, all from it's own hand at that.
