The local fan base is quite selective. They like what they like and that is winged sprint cars. The track needs to keep the local fan base engaged for this weekend to keep them paying the front gate and to make it a financial success. If they don't, it won't happen again especially with the amount of money they are putting up.

I wouldn't anticipate the crowd being much bigger than a regular event for the weekend. The Lucas Oil Nationals only draws 8-10 thousand fans, which is only a 50% increase over a regular show


Take the good with "evil", in your case, but be thankful they are going back to Knoxville to race and for more money than anywhere else on the schedule.
