I have been to every Brickyard 400, and have watched the crowd drop off, gradually at first, but dramatically the last two or three years. The tire debacle in 2008 seemed to have a significant effect. The on track action has never been breathtaking, but the action in the pits is entertaining and I always have an enjoyable day because I make it a point to enjoy a good meal at Gray brothers cafeteria in Mooresville on the way back home and enjoy the scenery along the way. (Wow, I used the word enjoy a lot, didn't I)? Yesterday's race wasn't great, but it was good, and it was nice to see Jeff win on the 20th anniversary of his first one.
I keep saying I'm not going back, but I do, so I'll probably send in my renewal today or tomorrow.
