I'm not a Ford fan but do like SHR racing .... one of my wife's former chemistry/physics students is the chief engineer for the 41 car .... it was sad to see so many open seats in the stands .... when NASCAR can't draw a capacity crowd at Bristol, it has serious problems

It looked like the Start/Finish Line seats were pretty full, but I never got a chance to see much else as it was not on NBC TV again and I didn't follow it on the computer like I usually do. Some may remember my story about back in '05 when I saw the woman at the ticket booth tell the guy next to me that the Saturday night race was completely sold out and there was not 1 seat left. What percentage would you say the turn-out was?

Baby steps, right?

I used to be a big fan of F1 and WRC but don’t really watch any tv these days so I’m sure a lot of things have changed since I last watched a nascar race. Probably the last time I watched a full NASCAR race it would likely have been won by Richard Petty!

Well, as long as it's on TV, I'm watching.

I gave up on most pro sports, but I'm not giving up on Nascar.

And yes, here in the South we like to turn Left, lol.
