I am a NASCAR fan and from US...but totally ackowledge world-wide F1 sits on top on it's own.

NASCAR even in US isn't nearly as big now as it was 7-8 years ago. Unfortunate death of Earnhardt...followed by down economy which hurt attendance as many fans would travel many hours to races and spend weekend...now several fan favorite drivers (Gordon then Stewart now Earnhardt Jr) recently retired.

Look at the stands during races (when the TV camera's actually show them) and many tracks are 2/3rds full at best where you used to always have sell-outs. Heck my first Daytona 500 I sat in those grandstands coming out of turn 2...I don't believe they even sell seats back there anymore.
