Chip and NASCAR would double the fan base overnight bringing in a lot of fans to watch Kyle race AND Chip would possibly lose a whole lot more hatters !!
Sometimes, I question wether Chip is really a savy business man.... JMO 
I get your sentiment and hate that Larson will not be racing non-wing sprints. However, your comment about doubling the fan base might be just a tad over the top. If sprint car racing were that popular it would be all over TV and our favorite drivers would be getting paid more and have great sponsorship. I think a guy who went from being a mediocre Indy car driver to owning a successful Indy car operation and a middling NASCAR operation would be considered successful.
