. First off, american drivers tend to stick to national championships like Nascar or IRL or CART series as there's a strong motorsport culture based on domestic racing in the States. And secondly, that many so-called world championships are basically european series with some races held outside Europe, like the FIA GT championship.
It comes down to one thing.. Money. You can make a shit ton more money in Nascar then just about anything else.

I don't remember a successful american driver driving a non-american team
Short memory.. The last 2 American F1 world champions drove for ferrari and lotus respectively..
