watched the truck race tonight(Friday) and the stands looked like a bomb had went off, was deserted on the main straight.....I know from having went to bristol for the night race with my dad and some friends it's just too damn expensive to go to a NASCAR race anymore, we went in a friends motorhome, stayed about 1/2 mile from the track and my share (me and dad) with tickets (which were $350 which was less than the person I bought them from paid) was $650 and that doesn't count what we spent at the track as far as t-sirts and stuff, we did carry in coolers which saved a bunch but basically you're looking huge bucks for little bang and people are not paying it anymore AND they're not staying home watching either PLUS sponsors are drying up because unless you're a huge company who has the money and it all trickles down thru the ranks....
