This is the first time in the 16 year history of the "400" that not even one of the available 30 stands / seating areas has been sold-out prior to race week.
Many stands in previous years have "sold-out" months in advance of the event.

The race on Sunday could prove to be the least attended NASCAR Sprint Cup race thus far in '09 in terms of percentage of total available seating sold.


< Joie Chitwood Leaving Indy

IMHO thats got nothing to do with THE SPEEDWAY and everything to do with NASCARs Clone car racing and the Economy. The Daytona race the fourth weekend had a ton of empty seats including whole sections.

Chuck, doubting the speedway will loose its family ownership but you never know. Indy without a Hulman/George. Its almost unthinkable.
