A good gauge for national popularity among youth is Facebook likes.
Travis Pastrana has "3,672,248 likes", Eldora has "94,618 likes". USAC Racing has ~290 likes.
If Eldora has the money, time and personnel to try out different approaches to weekly racing, I imagine this can help out many of our own favorite nearby racetracks.
I didn't make it, and looking at the nighttime forecast I was rather glad I didn't make it down.
Glad to see a rather positive post, and at 34 years of age, I hope to see much more youth at the races!
