Port Royal just announced they are increasing their payout this season for weekly shows to $5000 to win. A promoter loosing money doesnt do that.
Of the top of my head Knoxville, Eldora, Williams Grove, Volusia, and Devils Bowl are all going strong as 1/2 mile race tracks.

I get his point in a way. Eldora used to draw well over a hundred for a major LM race. Now in the 60s but the same can be said for the jackson 100, north south 100 etc. It's not necessarally the tracks but number of cars . Tons of tracks out there of many sizes running seven classes of ten cars each.
