to me, and i'm usually wrong, no one is saying you cant stay all night, drink beer and tell story in the pits. by getting the races done earlier you could have more time to do that. to grow the sport i feel you need to look at the family that show up to the races with kids and friends in tow. have time after the races for the family's with the kids to go to the pits see the cars, talk to the drivers, get autograph and start new story for years to come. when i was a kid that is what i did and now i have owned a car for 18 years now. with the late races you see less and less kids in the pits. look at the race series you go and support every week. how many rookies have their been in the last 2 years. 1 maybe 2 in the last 2 years? where do the rookies come from? kids in the pits. now get the cost in control and in the next few years hopefully will see good car counts again.
