The problem isn’t so much from too many divisions
As much as it is what NASCAR is or in some cases isn’t doing with them.They have( with the exception of their very earliest days) always maintained at least four divisions.Those of us that are old enough to remember the old convertible division that was the xfinity division of its day at its inception.NASCAR has always had a modified division for instance.The modified division was the breeding grounds for the newest Grand National guys.Even in the 1960s you had modified, sportsman, convertible, and grand national or cup as it’s now called.The convertibles ran with mainly cup guys but shorter races.They eventually gave way to the Grand American series which were camaros,mustangs,cougars,Firebirds.But the main difference there was it was full of big name stars who’s careers were ending.Buck Baker,Red Farmer,Tiny Lund,to name a few.This is what the truck division SHOULD have become. A place for guys like Mike Waltrip,the Labonte’s etc could have had a place to race that would have taken less financial resources for the aging stars that still have the ability to bring fans.But as far as K&N NASCAR puts literally NO real promotion into their events.It has no real star power and rarely even has an entrant from a local guy to the track they are racing at and they are incredibly missing the mark there.If there were local drivers also entered in those events they would self promote themselves.Did anyone go to the inaugural short lived Battle at the Beach?They gave it NO promotion. I went for the one and only super late event and there couldn’t have been more than a couple hundred people in the stands.No stars( even though Kyle Larson won it but nobody knew who he was yet)no promotion,no crowd.
