By appearance alone, NASCAR is in bigger trouble than other sports

I love NASCAR more than ever and I am an old timer but.....
I think the percentages are the reverse of what you said.
The tracks all have payment plans and with them most folks can
Truly afford the tiny monthly payments. So I can't see it being finance/budget

You have to be absolutely nuts to finance tickets to a race. If you are in that position stay home and watch on TV.
I believe people's finances are a big part of it. It's why I haven't been in a couple years and I don't miss a race on tv. If I can't watch it. I DVR it for later.

I think Jimmie Johnson is a wonderful guy and a great ambassador for the sport but I think he and Chad were a little too dominant in the last decade or so. The best comparison to me, is when Roger Federer was dominating tennis. After a while, it's like, why watch? I know who's going to win. The rise of Rafael Nadal put Federer in check and I believe Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano will hold the fort against Jimmie's 8th Championship until the rise of the Young Guns (Larson, Elliot, Blaney, Jones, etc.)

The only deal with this, is Brad won a title in 2012. Jimmie has won 2 since then. Kyle won a title in 2015. Jimmie won 1 since then.
Joey isn't as close to a title as he appears yet.
I see no reason to think any of those guys will hold off Jimmie's run at 8. If he does get held off, it will be a new champion having a breakthrough year. (busch 2004) (Stewart 2002, Keselowski 2012)
 
Logano probably would have had a title if Kenseth hadn't nuked him. While hilarious, it did cost him a shot at the title in a year he was really strong.

@ahudsonman mentioned in an earlier post that the payment plan at Loudon involves zero interest, which is kinda hard to beat unless someone flat out just gives you the tickets. :dirtbike:
