I would imagine they saw what happened with Rockingham and realised it was a waste of time.
THe only way you could have made this pay was to let the Americans be involved with the track design, they know what works, the MSA made a huge mistake with Rockingham allowing it to be the wrong shape and not enough banking hence it was reasonable for indycars but too long for ASCARS and not banked enough to allow side by side.
That is why the picksups were awesome, coz they were smaller and pretty much flatout and using the draft like they do at Talladega and Daytona in the Cup cars on a much bigger track.
The banking was too shallow, fine in a car that makes downforce, but if they were really serious about stock cars they should have tried harder to get a better track design.
NASCAR either trucks or Nationwide might have made a dent in the downfall, but no chance now, unless someone wants to try and convince NASCAR to come and race in a country that knows nothing about it!
