most deathbedders have a misshapen way of looking at the sport although that will be denied vigorously usually using the "they are concerned" excuse. They can't explain how Nascar as a whole continues to make money for the stockholders and pay dividends, why ISC and Speedway have been spending tremendous amounts of money in track renovations, reconfiguration's, upkeep and improvements to the infrastructure. They are blissfully ignorant about the various revenue streams that continue to keep the sport profitable, funded and out of the taxpayers pocket for the years to come. I don't complain about empty seats, I choose not to go to races anymore, I feel I have a better seat at the house all things considered. I notice that those doing all the complaining don't go to races, most don't even watch the races if that makes any sense and it really doesn't, and those that continue to criticize (all for the sports good) the sport work diligently to try to convince us that a trouble is a brewing, flying in the face or facts and figures to the contrary. But that is the why they are really here for so they do have a purpose. Two more races to go until the dark period, I am going to enjoy the hell out of them. you?
