I would of thought it would have been the spring Bristol race getting the can instead of the fall Charlotte race.....this years spring Bristol race had a ton of empty seats(last years had a lot to) and Bruton Smith does own Bristol as well.
But that wouldn't work because it would mean 2 spring races in Vegas. It would have to be a fall date and the SMI-owned tracks with fall dates currently are Charlotte, Atlanta, Texas, and New Hampshire. I doubt Bruton would want to pull his 2nd race out of Atlanta, plus Labor Day would still be pretty hot in Vegas.
Not that they would have much if any say, but I can't imagine the race teams would be very happy about losing a virtual home date in Charlotte.
