NASCAR’s plan to snuff out Open Wheel Racing?

A reader's conspiracy theory, Dear AutoRacing1.com, I see where Jacques Villeneuve is now going to race in Nextel Cup. One by one NASCAR is picking up some of the biggest names in open wheel racing, and with it their fans. Over time this will leave Open Wheel Racing largely devoid of what fan base it has left, at least in North America. First they picked off all their big sponsors and manufacturers, which in turn drew the biggest open wheel teams in North America and now they are working on the top drivers. It's been a slow, well thought-out plan to methodically snuff out open wheel racing as a viable top form of racing in North America. So far the plan is working to perfection and when it is all said and done, what will be left will be NASCAR's brand of racing as the 'major league' motor racing sport in North America. Name Withheld
