And harder to fill the stands, as times have changed and they are competing with more things that people ( with less money ) can go do.
However, racers expenses keep climbing but we race for the same and sometimes less money than we did 20 years ago. Causing more and more to have to give it up. which in turn puts less butts in the seats to watch fewer cars to compete. Promoters then have been less likely to tech cars in meaningful way ,because they do not want to send any cars down the road. Which in turn aggravates those running within the rules making it more likely for them to hang it up. Or less likely for someone new to move up or get involved in racing.
Do not think that I'm Blaming just the promoters! We all have do our part to get this sport revitalized. We as racers should be more fan friendly, not just load up and leave as soon as the races are over, hide in our haulers , Etc.

Hope everybody has a great weekend
