Pavement sprint car racing has been a challenge in recent years to get cars and fans. But it can work. I went to a Must See race at Berlin back in June. The place was so packed they had to delay the race 45 minutes to get all the fans in the place. You couldn't find an empty seat anywhere and they had a strong car count. Far more fans and cars than any USAC race I have attended there. The reason? The track and sanctioning body promoted heavily the week of the race. The start money exceeded each teams tire bill. This can work and is working for a few sanctioning bodies with a little hard work and promotion.
