Looks like the Atlanta race stands are only about 2/3 full. This is even after they reduced the stand capacity by 1/3 a few years back because of the poor spectator attendance. The sponsors did not like the looks of the empty seats on camera so they took 1/3 of them down. Todays race is only the second race that I have watched in 2 years or since the Confederate Flag issue. I have been a race spectator since about 1954. But not any more NASCAR has screwed the pooch on there racing. WELL I will just change it to Atlanta.

Yesterdays race the stands were not full either, but that is not unusal. I am talking about today's race the Daytona 500 of which is supposed to be the biggest race of the year.

I'll take Kurt Busch for the Win. What do you think, $500 good?

Well, one thing about it you can see that I do not keep up with NASCAR anymore. Up to the flag issue I never missed watching a race or I recorded it to watch later. Was up to me they could close up and it looks like the spectator count shows it.

Harvick gets to eat it again.
Go Brad! -

^^^ I remember having that much fun with my brothers (I have 5). We don't talk about it.

Kind of looks like the crowds still are not making it to the NASCAR races. At start time in Daytona looks like the stands are only half full. I love it "You Reap What You Sow"

Have to still love racing even if I don't agree with the politics of the sanctioning body.
Not much different than loving your country and disliking the government.
