I've noticed a lot of empty seats at NASCAR events in the last five years. My explanation:
1. I think auto racing in general is on the wane. Young people are not attracted to it as in the past.
2. NASCAR has no charismatic superstar. Its best driver - Jimmie Johnson - has the personality of a doorknob.
3. It has become too corporate and politically correct.

Amen to that. He is Diet Jeff Gordon!

The economy might have had something to do with it also...NASCAR is a lot more Main Street than it is Wall St.
