Other Forms of RacingWe know you enjoy other forms of racing too. Though we're an American Le Mans Series based board, you're welcome to discuss other racing formats here.
Just turned on the TV to see the last few laps of the race in Atlanta...and wow, I do not think I have ever seen so many empty seats in a NASCAR race...I mean, it was clear, not just one small area or those closest to the fence...but many many seats vacant....
Welcome to a struggling economy. The average Joe, who occupies a large percent of those seats, is feeling the pinch. The cost of gas, food, and everything else attached to a weekend of racing has risen. Plus with the 36 race schedule, complaints about The Chase, the COT, some fans are voting with their wallets.
