We were going to run Putnamville earlier this year and it rained out when we were half way there. No time to go anywhere else so we ordered a pizza, picked it up on the way home, and ended up watching 7-8 different sprint car races from all over the country. It really opens a big window of opportunity to gain exposure to places out of your region. Sure there are some slight downfalls but I would say the benefits outweigh them. It would be interesting to see the data of who and where they are from is at a race track that streams on any given night. Obviously, you get a lot of people from out of town at big shows but the smaller shows would show the possible difference. Someone should try to build a survey that gets you a free drink or something at a racetrack to show how you heard about the place I bet the numbers would be eye opening. I also think over the last year or so Covid has helped racing in some ways. The big way is it became the single source of entertainment for a period of time in 2020. The crowds and some select races were by far noticeably larger than in previous years.
