Nascar is predominantly aimed at the American Market, and will only ever be an 'American Series', whereas the F1 series, have realised, that it is far more benneficial to hit the WORLD market.
You can't have a world champs, with only selected countried being able to attend, or that there isn't a level playing field. I just don't see why it should only be held in the 'large market', Chazz himself, contradicted by stating, that not going to Japan, he still sold BIG, so by not going to a major market, it did not, in any way, affect his sales... but by going to smaller markets, then it may inspire their organisers to work harder.
