Seen Mrs. Ballou walking up and down the ticket line a couple years ago at Bloomington with her T shirt trailer (Big Suitcase)

I agree with Devin as well..there are far more things to worry about than if I can buy a shirt or not..what other track let's you buy a 50/50 and go pit side to see the cars..talk to the drivers/crews..and buy a shirt if you want too..I support the drivers efforts 100% and most are scrapping to get from one night to the next but I go to a race track to see a race not to worry about if I can buy a shirt or not..the track is getting very negative criticism via social media and one track has already closed from it. I for one don't want to see another close..I hope everyone enjoys their sprint week..and hope one doesn't base missing a race on no merch stuff..

Must go to opening night of sprint week and support I-69 speedway. Fun place to go, great racing many more times than not.

It's the principal of the fact that the track is not supporting the racers. It is isw so of course cars are going to show up but what happens the rest of the year? Without cars the track has nothing to offer and attendance drops. Gas city needs to examine their product they are offering and work with the racers not against them, some drivers make their money off shirts and the convenience of having them by the gate as fans walk in helps boost sales. This is not about buying a shirt in the end but about the track supporting the people who put the show on for them.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but what is the negative part of letting them sell shirts? Why does the track even care? It's not like someone is going to not buy a Gas City shirt because the drivers are out there with theirs. Is there a reason that tracks wouldn't allow this? Like I said, I may just be missing something.

Good grief, let the drivers sell their shirts. If that is the worry of being profitable over shirt sales then....well...hmm. I don't want to have to go to the pits to buy a shirt, if there is oil or grease with in a 100 yards I will step in it and track it in the car, every time.
I usually try to buy several shirts from all that has them. Make it easy to be a fan and show support. |

I in no way was trying to start anything here or tell anyone their view was wrong.
I just tried to inform some on how they could get T shirts if they wanted one. Not going to make it now anyway, Won't get car back till afternoon tomorrow at four times the cost I thought the repair would be. See everyone Sunday! Really wanted to give Susan a Birthday Hug tomorrow but I'll give her two to make up for it

With the track for sale, and its future in doubt. I am sure Mr Gatten will put his money where his mouth is, and buy the place. Then he can show us how to do it while he makes millions. I am sure that will be more productive than this thread
