I don't think it's always a matter of if the racers will stick around. But when you got four and five classes running tracks and won't let fans in the pits after the sprint feature. WHO WANTS TO STAY A EXTRA HOUR just till they can? Also late shows well, Look how many just leave after the headliner feature?.
Tony Stewart also promotes his sponsors, Weather he's obligated too or not is beside the point, That taking out a car (You"ll need a blah blah power sander for that one Joey) Scrape the wall (Some blah blah paint for that wall there steve)
He'll even sniff his stinky arm pit for Old Spice.
I think it all comes down to the EXPOSURE (Media) is the key, Once you've tapped it, The limits are unknown.
It also don't help much and I apreciate VS network for showing them, But they lable the sprints and LM races they show as MOTORSPORTS HOUR, Not USAC/CRA SPrint cars.
Thursday night Thunder? WHERE ARE YOU?
Chuck, who thinks NW sprints could be every bit as EXPOSED as the lidded cousins.
