On the infield at MIS today with laptop and wireless and let me tell
you that just minutes from start command, there are a huge, and I mean
huge, number of empty seats all around this place. If NASCAR reports
this as a sellout, I am dropping the yellow flag, the yellow BS Flag,
and there ain't no sponsor for this flag.

Yes, it shows clearly on the TV. Remember, this area of the country has been hit hard by the auto

builder bankruptcies
Right now the majority of the empty seats seem to be in the lower rows and towards the end stands.
Spectators in those rows must have wised up and found better viewing spots up higher in the stands
and closer to the S\F line.

Once you leave out WalMart and McDonalds most businesses would like to
have the same percentage of revenue that NASCAR enjoys today as
opposed to a year or two ago.

I must have been watching a different race cause it wasn't just the
"not some so good seats" that were empty!

Just saw all the empties on TV. Damn!

Well, what do you expect? It's motor city, and there are probably a
hunnert thousand people out of work.
