If option two is chosen, one would assume they would reboot the whole thing by continuing to race at those venues where the attendance is good. How though are the new owners going to convince, TV, advertisers and sponsors that their new series is and will be anymore viable than the one it's replaced?

These two options ask more questions than they answer.
