I think many have lost interest like I did. One day it was like..why am I sitting here watching cars go in a circle for 4-5 hours?

I went to a race in Rockingham, NC right before NASCAR stopped racing there and it was okay. Nothing I ever felt compelled to do again.
Somebody mentioned the cars these days. All they are is a shell. The Taurus', Camry's, and Impala's on the track are obviously NOT what is in the dealer's showroom. It would be one thing to know that the car in your driveway is almost or even resembles the one on the track.
I think it's a generation thing, too. Look at what interests kids or young adults these days. It's not NASCAR.
