I'm surprised there are THAT many people in the stands. They have been pimpin' that race on all the radio stations around here for weeks. They have tried all kinds of gimics to no avail (set up a "beach" in the infield...12 and under get in free....one radio station was putting on a party with a seat in turn 3 for $50).

Biggest issue to me is ticket price. I had a friend who was trying to unload two tickets that were face value $150 a piece. My 500 tickets (2 tix) are $167 total. Also, general admission for the 500 is $20, 400 it's $40. The racing isn't that great (that track just isn't built for those cars) and they basically charge double in most cases. That's why people stay home....that's why they stay home at a lot of Cup tracks...too damn much money for one race.

Looks at it this way, just looking at ticket prices. I can go to all of IN Sprint Week for $140 ($20x7). ONE 400 ticket can cost more than that. So 7 great races or 1 crappy race? No brainer to me.
