You throw the revolutionized merch in Nascar. That's all great and it was a different time also when you had the Intmidator vs Wonder Kid. As recently as 2020 Larson said he made more on Merch at a PA sprintweek race than he did the whole season in Nascar. Someone's getting the $$$ in Nascar. It's not the drivers. (Probably depends on the teams contract with em)
As far as tracks, There's a lot to work on. Milwaukee, Dover if you could work it with a Nascar weekend. Volusia? Vegas
As far as the two dirt miles. I think daytime hurts it. A fairground don't get hoppin till about 5pm anyway. and yes, A CONCERT with any decent name is going to draw more.
We'll see, Ive come to like the Silvercrown a lot more than I used too.
Good Luck Don.
Perhaps Larson made more in merchandise sales in one night at PA than in merchandise sales for the entire NASCAR season, though I doubt that. His NASCAR salary is reportedly $8 million.
