I could go to a Wed. race; I'm out if it's Thursday... I know this is the Open Wheel Forum but the World 100 is the big dog that weekend at Eldora and they start racing Thursday.

There will probably be more fans at Eldora the night before than at the Brickyard....

Also, reading Robin Miller’s article, they are only erecting 5,000 seats. If this is the case, IMS has GROSSLY UNDERESTIMATED the interest this event has generated.

This is the article USAC linked on their Facebook page

The article says the brickyard was moved to September to put it in the chase to hopefully stimulate some interest with the attendance plummeting. At least for me the silly "chase" is just another reason to lose interest in NASCAR.

But I think it has much less to do with getting NASCAR folks to the dirt track but getting the local folks to the Speedway. A day break would not kill that momentum but wouldn't hurt either. How many folks are they potentially losing to the World if they run Thurs instead of Wed? Probably not a lot, but you can bet a a few.. and it's all revenue. I just think this is more about hype and revenue, and hoping the locals will stay for the weekend also.

But they'll be more folks at the World for 3 days than Indy for the 3 big track days.

I say this event is about the locals and to draw attention to the Track... Win Win for the track!
