I just finished this article - I think it gives a good, rational perspective. Here is a short excerpt from the piece:

"But NASCAR has also been guilty at times of being out of touch. It has relied on marketing surveys and focus groups for too long. Its leadership, some of which knew nothing about stock-car racing until taking jobs in it, lacks the perspective of actually mingling with loyal, hardworking fans who don't have access to the luxury suites. What's needed is the kind of judgment that comes from true perspective, not the artificial perspective of numbers."
