The lack of attendence I can't see getting better and I wonder what NASCAR would do if they couldn't support three top series. Would this alter their contraces to the point where ESPN might walk away instead of having to be pushed? <BR/><BR/>My feeling is that for any of the entities in racing to servive and trive, they are going to have to be small and nimble.
