I think that is a simplistic answer that rings hollow when analyzed.
The worst days of the IRL were dominated with American drivers. Many of them dirt drivers and one of them is by all accounts one of the top 5 favorite dirt guys ever.
The 1997 race had Stewart,Boat,Hamilton,Mike Groff,Steve Kinser and Tyce Carlson. About 23 American drivers in all. Crowd wasn't great an TV ratings down. Today the crowd is much bigger and ratings are up.
NASCAR will be around for a long time. I personally don't care for whatever it is they call racing ....but millions of others do.
