I would have thought that the size of the stadium would be the prohibitive factor there. Even the world's largest soccer stadiums (stadii?) barely seat 100,000 people.

The stands at a NASCAR event can hold anywhere from 30,000 to 60,000. Then there is the infield where still more people (typcally in RVs) watch the race and can number a similar amount to more than the stands themselves. The Indianapolis 500 is used by both Indy car racing as well as NASCAR. With the potential to have 400k spectators at one event, no other sport comes close to the number of spectators at one single event.
