Casual fans might correctly ask why their sport has seemingly become smaller while other sports have grown exponentially.

Cricket via both the men's and women's Big Bash, the A League, NBL, WNBL, AFL and AWFL are examples of sports that have either started from scratch or have expanded over the recent years.

Somehow Supercars managed to take a sport that was capable of supporting 40 plus cars in the late 1990's to just over half of that next year.

Other than professional golf what other sport of the profile of Supercars done so poorly in maintaining the number of competitors in Australia over the last 20 years?
