NASCAR makes insane amounts of money and has attendance well over 100,000 at a ton of races. I'm positive they don't care what you think of it.

The thing is that americans get bored quickly when they don't win. So they found new types of sports where they can be good in, e.g. Nascar, Indycar or handegg.

As far as I know America doesn't have any support systems or feeder series for young drivers to progress up the ranks into F1. I guess you could say that Indy is a feeder series, but even back when it wasn't a complete joke, the only 2 drivers of significance to come out of IndyCar were foreign (Villeneuve and Montoya).

Actual Americans wanting to get an F1 seat might still be hindered by the spectacular failure that was Michael """""Andretti""""" at McLaren.
