Seem the concerts are a bigger deal than the races. Sadly, it should be the other way around.
Take NASCAR out of the track owning part of it and half the battle has been won. That puts a long uphill battle for IC to climb from the promotion side of the equation before an event has even started, never mind the fact that thy screwed up a number of those track on both the SMI and ISC side by reconfiguring tracks and slathering that PJ1 goop on them. If you need a perfectly good oval screwed up there is no better partner than those two at the moment.
