Each manufacturer's racing department is probably funded by the marketing budget. They have X number of dollars to spend & spend it where they can get the most for their buck. In the 70s & 80s it was oval racing. Now it is sno x, so that's where the money is spent & the sleds developed for.
Outside of Michigan, they probably aren't a lot of people aware of MIRA & the Soo I-500, so that's why 'doo hasn't been putting much money behind that type of racing.
