I'm not an oval racing/ nascar fan really but to be fair, oval racing is alive and well in the uk; it just happens to run on short ovals, not be administered by the MSA/ fia and is called hot rod or stock car racing. It attracts pretty big crowds and drivers even get start money.
Not sure why it doesn't translate to longer circuits really, and Eurocar v6 was pretty popular for a while. Perhaps the uk needs a few feeder series between hot rods and euro nascar? Perhaps the short oval folks should have an annual meeting at Mallory on the oval and Rockingham withbig grids?
