Seeing those stands so empty sure can't be good for the future of any kind of racing.

Good race. Started on time, thunderstorms intervened a couple hours. I run 410 sprints and enjoyed the race. Great watching Kyle run through the field, Ricky ran well...for a while, Kasey beat Kes in turn 1 last lap at 200mph, all good stuff. IMS has 235,000 permanent seats with infield seating topping 400,000. 50,000+ people would still look empty. I've seen as many yellows and crashes in some marathon 40 lap, 1/4 mile sprint car races.
