Gotta be Alex Kennedy(At least I think that's his name) in the Nationwide race. VERY stupid move.....

agreed.Gotta agree with that. I waited for the Cup race to be over before posting anything. I really didn't think anyone would top that. That move is almost as bad as what happened to start this "award" and that was Kevin LePage pulled out in front of the field at the NNS race at Talladege a few years ago.

Thanks for the video link. That's the winner, hands down.
Coming in a close second, albeit 3 years after the fact, is the bonehead/boneheads that had the idea of moving the spring Dover race from the weekend after the 600 to two weeks before. There was a huge drop in attending fans the first year that they made that move and it's gotten steadily worse as the years go by. They'll be closing that place down soon.
Ahhh, The Good Ol' Days.
Huh so that's what it looks like when the stands are full, looked like maybe they had half the place full yesterday if that.
The attendance is listed as 82,000 down from 88,000 last year [133,000 seats].
Dover Cup crowd was lowest since NASCAR began putting attendance estimates in box scores regularly in 2003 and third straight under 100K.
Perhaps no NASCAR track's Sprint Cup crowds have taken a harder hit. Dover average attendance from 2003-08: 136,250. From 2009-11: 93,600.

And down from filling the place up for decades, up until as recently as 2008. Racing Reference lists the attendence at or around 140,000 for every race between 2002 (the earliest numbers they have), and '08. 150,000 for both 2005 races. Even the race run on a Monday in 2007 was better attended than each of the last three Dover races.
I don't know how that all stacks up with other venues, but that's an alarmingly sudden and sharp decline.
And it's not like traffic's horrible. The races ended around 5 and I was always home by 9 or 10, a far cry from taking four hours to get out of the parking lot at Richmond.
What the heck traffic is always terrible at Dover.
