Drag racing is like any other sport. Some have the knack, some don't. Sammy Swindel or Steve Kinser make going in circles seemingly out of control look easy but I doubt they would do well in a rail, just as any of the drag racers would not do well in a WoO car.
Most televised motorsports are not doing well. NASCAR has steadily gone downhill as they have gotten farther from their roots.
I have not been to a live top level race (Other than the vintage stuff at Road America) in years.

I talked to John force a few times at his shop when it was in Yorba Linda, he held charity car shows and would hang out with the regular folk just like he was one of us. What you see in the interviews is really him, just turned up a notch.
His wife is not bad looking for a woman who is "mature" but IMO she had way too much cosmetic surgery done.
Doug Kalitta is a good drag racer who used to do the roundy-round thing and was pretty good at it too. Probably the exception tho .....

Kalitta formerly raced in USAC events. He was the 1991 USAC rookie of the year in the midget series, and won the 1994 championship in the sprint car category. Kalitta won 21 USAC events: 14 in midget races and 7 in sprint competitions.
