Richard Petty is right. Dirt racing is not professional. not one race team can support itself. it takes rich car owners that don't care about losing money. NASCAR gets 3-5 million viewers on tv each week (most might be asleep) but a dirt race cannot touch those numbers. He's also right that NASCAR is chasing gimmicks trying to save a shrinking fan base. i love dirt racing, but The King is not wrong. i will argue as long as you want. ask the owners of the Championship winning teams and see how much money they've really made
