Fuel / Food /Hotels - it is brutal out there! I still watch some of the Nascar races.. and they have maybe 40 to 50 % of the crowds they used to. The Bristol race was almost an embarrassment I'd think. The stands used to be packed completely around the track, this last race they couldn't fill the main grandstand. Even the big teams are in trouble. Check out Kyle Busch, his sponsor of 15 years ( M&M Mars) is walking away. And they are in a long line of those backing away.
