Not sure that makes much sense. F1 has no billboard at all and is the richest and most popular racing in the world. I think this has to do with other factors like the series promotion. WoO promotes their series, USAC doesn’t promote right, it is just the sanctioning body and it is up to the tracks to promote. In any event, sprint car racing, especially non-wing, is and always will be a niche sport. As long as it survives I am OK with that.
