I would have to say that is completely wrong unless the parents frequent short tracks. But most kids will see their first race on TV (nascar or indycar). If they show interest parents may then take them to a Nascar or Indycar race then possibly a dirt track if they are lucky. Take a poll of all kids under 18 and see where they first witnessed racing 75% will tell you Nascar or Indycar. And 25% will respond with "sprint cars are go-kart things, right?".

Donald Davidson has said several times on his radio show during the Month of May, that the largest crowd in 500 history was the 1989 race. In the 1989 race, you had 10 drivers that were foreign born, 11 had short track experience and the rest of the field were American road racers or in the case of Rick Mears,an off road racer. So why did the 1989 race have over 400,000 fans in attendance? ![]() |

Thats a good mixture if you ask me. Wish there was a magic wand to wave and get things back to those type of numbers with regard to the crowd and the various backgrounds of the drivers. But there isnt, so I just enjoy what we have now! As it is, I'm enjoying the Rolex! Yes, its racing season!
