Thinking back a year when the COT was first run at this track it was really boring too. It is now a game of follow the leader, hardly any 2 or 3 wide. Passing has become nothing more than me passing a car on the 2 lane roads where I drive, all very gentlemen like. It seems like Nascar and the track owners have started to use the same fuzzy Math our wonderful elected leaders use. The track has sold out, full house etc. when you could clearly see plenty of empty seats. I would not waste my money to go to a race anymore and frankly I don't much care if my satelite goes out during the race. We keep turning on the race but now only to listen to DW and gang and even that has become a strain on them, trying to make really boring races sound exciting. If only DW and gang could really tell us what they think. Nascar has forgotten there roots, the people who really made this sport grow to what it is. Us blue collar workers are now not important to them. Well Nascar is no longer important to me either nor my friends. We have all decided that for the next 4 weeks we are going to get together at different locations and do outdoor stuff with all our families together, BBQs etc. and see if we really miss watching the races or give them up forever. No recording the races either. We can read about the race the next day. I have a feeling that our family/friend time is going to win out.

If you looked closely at the stands or better yet, if you talked with anyone who attended, they will confirm it. Most of the seats were probably of people who bought tickets last year who did not use them and could not sell them. When you live 50 miles from the track and turn down free tickets, that should tell you something. The interstate going by my house (I live 50 miles northeast of the track on I-81) had fewer RVs traveling to and from the race that I have ever seen. with the "quality" of this race, I think there will be tickets available to anyone who wants them for the night race.
