I have been nosing around the internet in recent months and have yet to find any answers. So why not ask some of the smartest people in racing! I have a lot of questions regarding the business Paradigm of Flo Sports. My big question is, how do the sports leagues such as USAC, etc. fund their content? Though Flo? How does the sponsorship work? These are just a couple of my questions. If anyone knows who to contact or where to look, please let me know. Thank you

Like many I have zero knowledge of the ins & outs of the streaming world… but I thought the tracks don’t pay for the streaming (unless they are doing it themselves) but instead are paid by the services that do stream. And therein lies the problem, are the tracks paid enough to offset any potential loss of fans that don’t actually attend the races but stay home & watch?
The streaming situation is the reason for the WoO-High Limit situation.

Don't forget that streaming is also the reason for the extreme series.

I agree. I would like to see if there is any data that could confirm whether there is a correlation or causation regarding attendance. I would rather attend a race in person. However there are times when my schedule will not permit, or there's too much travel involved so I will watch on a streaming service.
