Baseball bores the crap out of me. I went to one game, never again.
That's kind of the feeling that many people have about 3+ hours of a NASCAR race.

Let's be fair, how much of that was heat related vs NASCAR dying, common sense would say a lot of people didnt want be in the heat.About 45k attended today and about 10k yesterday.

Ok, fair enough.The temp was about the same during the Pats vs the Jaguar game. That stadium was sold out.
It wasn’t that hot. Especially during the Friday night race.Let's be fair, how much of that was heat related vs NASCAR dying, common sense would say a lot of people didnt want be in the heat.

The stands were empty all weekend.
2007 article that Jeff Gluck wrote. Intersting read.

NASCAR’s policy is to not announce turnstile counts."
80kSo, does that place not have many seats? I ask as the Las Vegas Review-Journal stated in their article about the bad attendance that it was 10,000 less than in the spring.

"That number would make it the lowest-attended Cup Series race in track history, down an estimated 10,000 from spring’s Pennzoil 400. NASCAR’s policy is to not announce turnstile counts."
I think that ace reporter hired guys to go around and count people. Professional seat counters. The rest of the article's statistics he copy/pasted from other sources.
what Nascar needs is more short tracks and road courses and less mile and half tracks that would get the fans back.
oh and get rid of the chase and go back to the best drivers being champion after the full season.
I feel like the fact that over the past 3 year the 3 most popular drivers in NASCAR retired. It has caused myself and 3-4 others that I know to stop attending races and making less effort to watch the races on TV. I am reasonably certain that there are thousands of fans for whom this is also true. I realize that NASCAR was already trending downward but the cumulative effect of Jeff, Tony and Jr retiring has finally landed us where we are today.
