A very interesting read from one of the average teams in the truck series.
I think there are a lot of contributing factors to this, but the a few I will pcik on,
1. the economy. Fewer butts in the seats, less reason to build a rolling billboard.
2. NASCAR Cable deal. People are leaving cable in droves, it is becoming much harder to reach the audience.
3. TV coverage. The middle of the pack and back, rarely gets shown on tv unless there is a wreck. What happened to introducing and speaking with all of the drivers pre or post race? Or at least pick one of the back markers to talk to and find out what their strategies and goals are for the day. I think this used to happen more when the local "ringer" was allowed into the race.
