Just another example of NASCAR screwing the fans. NASCAR could have run the race up until the halfway point and then called the race. All NASCAR tracks should have lights. Running a race on Monday does not cut it, many fans will not get to see the race, and they lose the ticket money. Races that are cancelled should be run on another weekend date.. NASCAR should otherwise offer a full refund of fan ticket price and give the fan a free t-shirt. |
and should have waited until tomorrow. Doesn't matter WHAT Nascar did,
people are going to complain.

Everyone wants their cake and to eat it too. Sorry for the cliche.

How about half? I've been on the receiving end of the cancellation with
no way to make it on Monday and it is no fun. A partial refund would be
nice, but in the end I had to accept it.

been run on Monday? Not many. You don't get a refund if a baseball game
is rained out, so what's the difference?
What do you mean there is no TV coverage? It's gonna be on ESPN tomorrow
at 12pm eastern.
I don't understand why you think that "NASCAR makes out big on days like
this". What do they get out of it?

Monday, then you lose. That is the risk you take.

discount to any other race they choose, so the tracks still get their money
and the fans get some incentive to come back, instead of just a
disappointing experience.

sort of option, like a discount for a future race ticket, might end up being
more profitable than the current situation for some tracks.
