Combination of circumstances...
1. Crappy economy
2. Fan interest and attendance numbers are off significantly
3. Both NHRA & Nascar have alienated the general public by pushing admission, concessions and event prices beyond affordable levels
4. Need more local class involvement rather just the JFR mouth yapping
5. Need to bring Chrysler back to Nascar, need other brands beyond Ford, Toyota and Chevy


Just my $0.05...
