If you've watched some of the races in the cup series the last few years, I think you could argue that watching them prep the track at Eldora would actually increase ratings when compared to the entertainment value of some of the racing. They've had some good events, but some of them are 3-4 hours of garbage.
On a related note, I would be interested in seeing more tracks use the prep habits between races that Oakshade uses. It does seem to create some good racing and a quality surface for the entire evening.
