What I think changed is;

1) The guys that are the heavy hitters now are the best drivers, not necesarly the guys with the fast cars.

2) We used to run off of national records, not dial-in's.

3) You always remembered who won the Nat'ls. & Winter Nat'ls. Now there are so many national events you can't remember who won last weeks race.

4) Magazines (Super Stock & Drag Illustrated) made a big deal of our heros and their cars. Now TV is the medium and they don't even show the sportsman classes except the alky classes and a quick fash of some finals.
