I noticed something at Bristol that I haven’t seen much of this racing season. No noticeable empty seats. Looking back on the races from this year, I’m hard pressed to think of a race that hasn’t had an embarrassingly high number of vacant seats. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to understand that Bristol’s competitive, fender-banging, emotional, take-no-prisoners style of racing will bring fans to the grandstands despite high fuel costs and declining consumer spending. It’s time to add more tracks like this to the Sprint Cup lineup.
Won’t it be interesting if the drama from the Bristol race helps to fill the empty seats we usually see in Fontana?
