Bring in the bulldozers. Make this place a parking lot. Reopen Wilkesboro

Those aren't empty seats; all of those people are down in the parking lot
making sure that Kurt (how do you like my new ears and my same old self)
Busch isn't parked behind them. Who wants to get put into the wall leaving
the race track.

Those aren't unsold seats - the people are just downstairs "shopping"...

track, watch an IRL race.

its not about attendance, it is about payout. tracks that have big payouts
keep thier races.

the attendance claim was just an excuse.

They are kind of interrelated, to have large payouts you need a lot of
spectors buying tickets.
