NASCAR should attempt a mid week summer night race

Run the race at Martinsville ........... no stages .... 400 laps ......... give guy that crosses finish line first the trophy
 
I am retired so a midweek race is just fine with me. I'm just not sure that TSN will cover it. Probably all 5 channels will be used for a soccer match in Peru.

Because I have a bed time during the week so I can be ready for work the next day.

Are you a fighterfighter, a cop, do work with electricity?

I mean if your job isnt dependent on saving people's lives or even a dangerous one I dont see what would be so bad about going to work tired one day a year

I don't think the networks are going to push for it. Most of the time they have other sports they can broadcast during the week that will pull bigger ratings.

The OP picked out the perfect day for such a race. No other major sports are being broadcast on that day.

I can only speak as to the first two Eldora Truck races. I camped for a week at both. The first year was, by far, the most attended of the two. I sat in the general admission in the turn 3-4 end along with @Johali. Reserved seating, behind us, was not full as it was the first year. The novelty of it all wears off in short order. The number of RV'ers was also down in the 2nd year as opposed to the first. Looking at their website, it shows a lot of available RV sites. Again, something that wasn't the case a few short years ago.

Yep. If Eldora wasn't so far away I'd still be attending it.

Sorry, I don't follow many other sports. What's the significance of the day after the baseball All-Star game? You mean no other games are played the next day, ever?

No, I'm a fan that would be at that race. Just as I had been at Eldora multiple times for the Truck race mid week. Just as when I've attended multiple truck races @ Bristol mid week in August.

You can worry about the empty seats, should that be your concern. Me, I'm a fan of the racing.

Im a fan of the racing as well.

The ability of fans to attend concernes me as a fan, because without the fans this sport doesnt exist. Without attendence, there is no point in the show. So turning a blind eye to the elephant in the room doesnt make it go away. Eventually you will smell the elephant.

Yeah, I certainly have to admit that the last thing that concerns me is if every other NASCAR fan can attend the race. I know I could and as a fan of racing @ Martinsville and that's really all that concerns me. If you're unable to make it because of work/whatever, I'm guessing you'll take it in on the tube. We're all good.
