The plan isn't to get people into stands. Every sport on the planet is fueled not by the attendance in the stands, but the viewers watching on devices. Outlaw 275/NT stuff has this figured out. The amount of people that will watch a stream vs attend a race is 100:1. I don't want to commit one of the few weekends I have to sitting at a track all day. However, I will gladly play a subscription fee to watch, which I do.
The best way for prizes purses to grow and for sponsor money to come in, is viewership, period. That has very little to do with people sitting in the stands. All sports are driven by TV/Streaming rights and that is where racing has to go if it wants any money involved in it.
