NASCAR peaked, over expanded and now is back to what it was before the peak. Why? Because it stopped being about racing and started being about promotion and the money became so huge that the majority of teams couldn't compete. Only the teams with big money had a real chance week in and week out. The only mystery each week was which of the 6 drivers from the 2 teams were going to win. Is the racing any good any more? I don't know. Because I lost interest and found better things to do with my weekends, which is now pretty much true of CFB for me. If I watch a game a week, it's a lot and I used to watch from noon to sleep time every Sat. Haven't watched a minute of a bowl game this year, won't be watching the playoff games, etc.
