Maybe for those who do have tickets, it's printed on the face. I don't know.

I heard that IndyCar sent some drivers ahead of time there to do PR work (press conference, newspapers, TV interviews, etc.). Maybe USAC could make an agreement with IndyCar to have some drivers tag along with them.
I haven't been to Richmond in three or four years. I went for the first time in the mid nineties before IRL when they ran USAC only. I saw back then little promotion and yet about 20,000 fans showed up. If they had only promoted more....who knows. I recall thoughts of them trying to make Richmond the "Copper Classic of the East". Hmmm...
I say let's give the new USAC regime a chance to make some things happen. They have a great product, they just need to sell it, sell it, sell it.
