If fewer and fewer people are showing up, maybe that's cause the ticket prices were high sky, the food and parking are outrageous, and/or their favorite driver has moved on. NASCAR has changed in the last 15 years from the grassroots of only being beloved by the south to having every product you pick up officially endorsed by NASCAR. I was a fan of NASCAR since I was 7, and I lost intrest in the sport, not cause of the Toyota's but because it lost its origins, it's nothing more then a mere shell of its former self. Where are all the country boys who built the car in their barn, bringng it down to Daytona, or Darlington, and having a chance to race against their idols? now its if you aren't using a Hendrick, or Roush engine, and 7 figures to blow a week, you'll never have a chance. Hell Darlington was cut to one race a year! .
The first Dover race I went to cost us 25 bucks a ticket, and last year was the final year I renewed my tickets, and were 95 dollars a piece! Forget it, whats the point of putting down $100 to go see something I'm not as interested in anymore. (I'm a huge fan of Mark Martin) I don't know what NASCAR you're watching, but pretty sure having a different car manufacturer coming to a race is not gonna keep the average gung ho fan from coming to the race. I don't know what they are protesting , but it isn't working.
