I don't know. The original post was about over zealous announcers over hyping mediocre races. To even affect anyone, they have to be at the track to begin with, meaning they are interested.
I think the reasons are deeper, maybe lack of interest in cars generally, especially by younger generation? Very few people work on their on cars anymore, they're kind of boring, computer assisted, front wheel drive. A friend of mine's son just graduated HS. When he got his license at 16 she couldn't even get him interesting in driving. When we were that age, all we wanted to do was get out of the house & into a set of wheels... is it video games & cellphones?
