SDHill89 brings up a good point. In my younger years I use to go with my dad to a number of races but as I got older and got more into women and playing sports in high school and what not I kind of strayed from the racing scene. Now I'm back into it heavier than ever but I'm also closing in on 30 now. I've noticed a lot more of my friends my age attending more races now that they've gotten out of the bar scene and have either gotten married or had kids.
With Silver Crown I think you have a niche fan base, last week I mentioned the idea of having an "outlaw" SC race and got the picture pretty quick that although it sounds like a good idea on paper when you look at the grand scheme of things that isn't the case. The reason I mentioned it is because I enjoy Silver Crown racing and my idea was that it might spark more interest. But again, I'm into racing pretty heavy these days, I'm a single guy that likes to be at the track whether its sprints, midgets, late models, Silver Crown, etc. However, as an above average fan I'm also willing to travel from Louisville to places like Du Quoin, Indianapolis, Salem, etc. Not everyone is. So "unless you grew up with them" and considering they have a short schedule, how many people are willing to travel to see Silver Crown races when many fans aren't as familiar with them as they are sprint cars
Not sure if that makes any sense reading it back to myself but I tried.
