Getting rid of Darlington?

[Digger]

TSN has an article covering the NHIS buyout, stating both NHIS dates will likely remain, as well as both California dates.

Instead, they might stop visiting Darlington or only go to Martinsville once a year.

Because, you know, all of us LOVE CaliBOREYA.

i dont see how they can....nor do i think they will.

If you remember ISC just invested millions into Darlington to improve the track. Lets also remember that Darlington is filling its seats when other tracks are not, also, TV ratings are down for a 2nd year in a row. Nascar can no longer afford to pull tracks from is roots.

You are correct that the TV ratings are way down. As I pointred out to Andy, the ratings under ESPN are down 8.6% this year and last year under NBC they were down 13.2%. That is a lot of fans to lose in 2 years. And that is not even counting all the empty seats that you see.
