Very true........that's why they still have 2 races in CA and can't even fill the seats! Never did even when people were still going to the races. But there are a lot of sponsors in CA and oh yes--a lot of $$. I do personally think NASCAR does make an effort to treat their fans well but it is a big business as already mentioned and sometimes $$ speaks louder then words.
