It's Not Just the Short Tracks Hurting for Cars...

I agree to a point, but there's also another factor in those empty seats - many tracks are drastically overbuilt with seating. My beloved Michigan Wolverines have the largest stadium in the nation, and it holds just under 110,000. Bristol motor speedway holds 160,000! Dover holds 135,000. Charlotte holds 146,000. The average attendance of an NFL game hovers around 70,000 people. There just isnt reason to believe that racing should be able to drastically out-draw more popular sports.

I agree to a point,although there was a time when those seats were occupied and tracks couldn't add them fast enough.

Also remember,there are a multitude of college/pro football games every week,only 1 NASCAR race.
