Because of course American racing solely takes place on ovals.
Except Detroit.
And Long Beach.
And Watkins Glen.
And Sears Point.
And Laguna Seca.
And Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
And Road America.
Do I have to go on, or did I make my point?
They certainly got some serious crowds in over the years. Hell, the 2001 race - which was held not that long after 9/11 when most Americans didn't really want to travel - saw a crowd up past 170,000 on raceday. Not up to capacity, because the F1 track bypasses the vast majority of the large grandstands. But pretty respectable in a (at the time) shattered country that honestly has more than enough decent motorsport to keep it happy without adding The Almighty Formula One™ to the list.
Oh, and don't forget - in '01, the championship was decided before that point, so there was no title battle to look forward to there. Yet they still showed up.
Suppose I should just let people dribble on with their uninformed comments about the state of US racing and F1 over there, but you caught me in a bad mood

With all the talk of lawnmowers in the last praccy, this seemed apt:

Fisichella's really walking a narrow line on that last corner. There's been a few close calls for him there.

Glock seems to have whacked his right rear - parked it on the grass

oops Massa's parked it
edit: and the marshalls are not doing a great job of clearing it.
