FloSports' growth has simply allowed them to have the cash to pay NASCAR what I'm sure is a sizable fee.
If NASCAR was looking to purchase something here, it would have made tons more sense to purchase the platform that they were already on that is about to go out of business, amirite? Instead of spending money, they are receiving money. (Settle down, boys!)

No because purchasing the platform they were already on does nothing to rid themselves of competition.
They have a history of trying to destabilize competing series and "competing" is anything with wheels that races and gets too popular. It is what it is.
