I am guessing, but...

Seems like, even though both owned by NASCAR, they are really two different demographics.

Road racers / sports car racers and fans would be board at Dover, watching 4 door "Late Model Modified" turn left for hours on end. Look, he's turning left! Wow, he is turning left! Wait, now he is turning left! Wounder what he is going to do next.

True NASCAR fans at a road race have problems comprehending a great road race. Well how is that little red car (Ferrari) and that 911 going to have a chance against that funny looking car (DP)!? That aint fair. And how can I enjoy the race when I cant even see the cars go around the hole darn track! You mean this ***** is going on for 6 hrs.

Then you add that the feature race is on a Friday afternoon? If Porsche enthusiast are "happening to catch the race on TV". I question their marketing departments effectiveness also.

I watched the race on tv and it was a very good race! Was great to see Rubens not only go fast but go far!
