Thread: NASCAR at Bristol

As the cars were going round the track, see how many seats were empty? NASCAR and NHRA does have a problem getting behinds in the seats .

There were probably at least a third of the seats empty. Unfortunately it's as much the economy as any other reason. Take a trip to the grocery store - our food bill went from $80-$100 a week to almost double. Then when you get done there, stop for some $4/gallon gas that was $2 about 18 months ago. When you are done with those two stops, not many dollars left for fun, especially if your paycheck is smaller with the FICA going back to 6.2%, healthcare going out of sight

Bruton Smith can only blame himself for attendance at Bristol, his attempts to go back to the Bristol Wreck Fest seem to have backfired on him!

BTW, for 2013, attendance at Daytona, Pheonix, and Vegas were all higher then 2012. California is always lousy on attendance, curious to see what the crowd is next week.
