I believe this is due to the fact that USAC is strictly a sanctioning body and they don't seem to want to become anything more than that. Realistically, they don't promote anything and rely soley on the individual venues and promoters to handle the vast majority of that part of the business. The World of Outlaws,however, is actively engaged in promotion of their events as well as the atmosphere that surrounds their events. While I would much prefer to watch even a local non-wing show over a World of Outlaws show, I have been to many of both and will say without a doubt that the atmosphere and hype surrounding the WoO cannot be compared to a USAC show. With the high level of competition for the entertainment dollar, the hype and excitement is what puts people in the stands that are willing to pay a little bit more per ticket to be there. All of the rest (higher payouts, more big money sponsorship, etc.) is driven by the number of people that the events draw and the ticket prices that they are able to charge those people.

. According to this they are spending money on promotion.
