Yes, there may be more exposure for your ad banner at a street race but, how does that translate into paying fans?????? The post I responded to was about getting more fans in the stands and comparing attendance at ovals vs. street/road courses.
If you were a company that had just enough buget to advertise at 1 race. Would you advertise at an oval race where just the paying ticket holders will see your advertising, or would you advertise at a street race? It is easier to get a sponsor for a street race. That is why there are so many of them. That is the point I was tring to make.
