nascar does lead the nation in single event attendance every week... the small venues hold at least 50K and the large ones hold 250,000! euro formula one drivers don't get paid squat so they're actually jumping ship and joining nascar. one championship F1 joined nascar this year, and 4 or 5 more are signed up for next year. FUN.
