The cars evolved into strictly race purpose vehicles and even the engines are not something one can purchase on a showroom floor anymore. There's much more excitement in watching grassroots stock car racing now.

They were already evolved to strictly race cars even then. It was entertaining as that oval series with some novelty imperfect road races. They should think hard about going back to the old suspension and bias tires to regain more adjustment and strategy. I don't think even a current cup car on DOT tires would win in a high level autocross, so appearing, appealing to performance street cars isn't crucial for them. I also anymore prefer watching a lower level, but usually not oval.
