Attendance and Bristol dropped off after they redid the track. The progressive banking produced more side by side racing but that is not what fans want out of Bristol. They want the bump and run. NASCAR attendance in general really took a hit during the recession. I go to Talladega every year and noticed a sudden drop off around 2008. So I think a combination of high prices and the recession has a lot to do with it.
