I agree that money is the key component, however it would appear that these regional or second tier series which are getting much greater exposure than USAC; have either found series sponsors who help with production costs or have been able to sell their concept to cable networks.
The internet is great, but I personally feel it is at best very volatile and is still in its infancy as a proven sports marketing tool.
