I don't doubt you're theory has an impact but, all motorsports is suffering from a lack of attendance and less sponsor support. Times are tough and it hasn't got any easier out there.

I think you're cubic money has been true since the first two "things" raced! The fella with the money will always be able to better support the desire to go faster. I know it's true in horse racing and dog racing, seen it first hand in drag racing and boat racing, even the hobbies (no matter which one) get overtaken by the dollar.

I just try to look past that and enjoy it for what it is. Those cubic dollars have accomplished a mighty lot over the years! And yes, I thoroughly enjoy the grass roots guy getting the win every once in awhile too!!
