Promoting Drag Racing

i was thinking of this the other day while I was sitting through the delay for daytona... why is it that daytona can be talked about every day, basically all day up until the race, and even after the race they talk about it every day until the next race. I've seen commercials every day about this race, and even in the local newspaper, but when it comes to drag racing, you dont hear or see anything about it until the day of the race. My local track doesnt promote the outlaw races that come up. You go to a local race here, and then a couple of days later you bump into a friend, and ask them were they at the races,and they look at you like they saw a ghost, well I didnt know there was race.. Why cant Nhra-ihra have telecast each day of the week or even 3 days a wk talking to the racers and finding out what they are goin thru to prepare for the event coming up. I honestly think drag racing will always take a backseat to Nascar!!!
