A regular Saturday night crowd of 300 to 1000 people is not going to make this show fly.
The sad reality, walk over to circle center and start asking people if they know who Dave Darland is? I'm not sure if 10% would even know. Steeping off soap box now.
So you really think napcrap drivers like Stenhouse JJ, Newman are really going to draw a big crowd Come on really, If you want napcar bubba and jr to come then at least get couple big names not backmarkers
Back markers? Newman ran 2nd in points last year. Stenhouse is better than Roush equipment and has more than proven himself behind the wheel of a sprint car or midget.
I think having the more well known people run, will only help promote the racers we all want to see. Maybe a few may try out a local dirt track. I know when I have been to Ft Wayne when Tony Stewart is in the advertisements, the place has a lot more people than times he hasn't been there. When I used to go to the chili bowl, it wasn't as crowded as it is now, that the more non traditional fan has discovered it.
Hell I can't wait to see some of the best of the best this weekend at the burg this weekend and I will be looking forward to seeing this show As well. Hopefully all the great racing fans and teams will support the sport that we all love. Thanks
