NASACR's decline has many causes but let's not forget that a major part of the problem is simply demographics. The sport has traditionally done very well with rural Southern white males. That's a shrinking (and aging) portion of the population. At the same time, the series hasn't done a good enough job of attracting fans beyond its traditional core.
Also, it didn't help that NASCAR over expanded in the 1990s and early 2000s. Too many races and race tracks with too many seats makes it more difficult to make the changes the series now needs to make.
