The trouble with F1's popularity in the US has nothing to do with the F1 Series itself, but more to do with the fact that it's open wheel racing. I believe the typical American racing fan looks at open wheel racing as a European sort of deal, and as a country, we've always had a tendency to outcast Euro trends. Heck, look at what we've done to soccer. More importantly, though, is that NASCAR has found a way to put some hype and drama behind their product. The open wheel markets need to find a way to make one or two of their drivers marquee names in the average US household - much in the way they've done with Danica Patrick and the MLS has done with David Beckham - and, then slowly but surely, they'll start to catch on.
