I watched but there is no connection in racing to me the 500 holds anymore. If Swanson, Santos, Bacon,Courtney, Larson, Bell, Newman and a handful of other short trackers were there. I'd be interested.
Spectacle? Well, For some I guess, Give me any night of midget week or sprint week. I'll feel like it's the biggest race in the world.

This is the answer without a doubt. If promoters could make money at an oval they would go there. The promoters of the past would book these tracks with visions of the attendance being at near sell out levels like the 500. Instead of near 100% attendance, they are lucky to get 20% attendance and they lose money. When promoters lose money year over year, they no longer book the events.

we went to the last race at Chicagoland. it was incredibly good, but like allot of oval races you could tell when you got close to the track because the traffic gets thinner Look at the last Texas race, YIKES

Great day. As for the ovals. They were not promoted properly I believe. I went to Chicago and Kentucky and the racing was over the top. I thought the crowds were decent in the IRL days. I remember Texas had big crowds at 1st. Congrats to Hello! #4
