While watching the Sprint Cup race at Bristol today, I couldn't help but notice how many empty seats there were. That was really surprising.
Normally the March/April race doesn't sell as well as the August night race, mostly due to being during the day, weather, and currently the economy. But there were visibly at least 40,000+ seats empty today. That is really alarming. Bristol used to sell out both races every year without too much issue.
Looking at Bristol's website, there are plenty of tickets available for the night race in August as well. Is this a sign of the times - that what was NASCAR's most popular track now can't sell out?
