Since NASCAR became the pro wrestling of the race world decades ago I can't even think of it as "racing" anymore.
Yes, it draws huge numbers but my mother and 30 other people sit around and watch every race and can tell you every conceivable personal fact on each driver but no 2 people in the room even know what make of car it is they drive. If they have no clue on make you can bet they have even less interest in any stats or the tech on that car. They are not so much into the car aspect as the simple entertainment value.
People interested in the type of racing the 86 is capable of are the complete reverse as they are (usually) more interested in the cars and the drivers become secondary. There just is nota large enough audience for this type of racing to make it truly economically viable.

Huh, I love NASCAR, love the technology and love the racing but no longer have many free Sunday's to enjoy a whole race. I really wish there were two tiers of commentary as there is so much going on in modern NASCAR, 190 mph chess games with inches to spare.
Except for the two car draft thing that showed up a few years ago when Trevor Bayne won the 500, that shit is a snoozefest.
