"But I don’t think we know what the answers are.”

Today's front page NY Times story by Ken Belson and Dave Caldwell on Nascar's troubles didn't break any new ground after a similar USA Today story a few weeks ago. But as I read it I imagined similar stories on golf in the coming months, and quotes just like this:

“Once you change your habits, it’s going to make it tough for us to get them back in the mode” of spending, said Richard Petty, who was one of Nascar’s most famous drivers and now owns a team. “Nascar, the sponsors we have, the car owners, we’re sitting here scratching our head. But I don’t think we know what the answers are.”
