As a fan who has attended a ton of IRL, NASCAR, and Silver Crown races the past twenty years....

chances of me going to a Gold Crown race 3-6 hours from my city

Stand Alone Event: -20%

Running w/ IRL or NASCAR - 90%

btw - I don't see the dirt miles going away when DuQuoin has to average 8-9000 fans every year. However, I still wish there could be more work done in terms of local promotion through sponsorships to increase the purse.
