In the span of one year, 1955 five top AAA open wheel racers lost their lives, Iron Mike Nazaruk, Larry Crockett, Jack McGrath, 1955 Indy 500 polesitter Jerry Hoyt and Indy 500 icon Bill Vukovich. To top it all off 82 spectators plus a drivr lost their lives at Le Mans. And I'm not even counting local racers or NASCAR drivers in the tally. If ever some nutcase could lead a movement to ban racing 1955 was it. Didn't happen, not that it wasn't tried.
If racing or a part of racing was not banned after that disastrous year of 1955, what makes anyone think NASCAR, who is stronger than any American racing series ever, could possibly be on the road to being banned today.
My advice, don't pay attention to blogs unless the author happens to be Lauren Besecker or other trustworthy racing bloggers. For one thing I never once read that bloggers need to pass any kind of intellegence test
