Attendance was said to be down around 40% for Sunday's Brickyard 400. Lots of empty seats seen through camera shots all through seating area. |
are sort of predictable.

Things like this are sort of predictable. Probably another reason could be the NASCAR formula does not work as well any more. |
grandfolks's sort of entertainment. There are not many young NASCAR fans.

Things like this are sort of predictable. Probably another reason could be the NASCAR formula does not work as well any more. I agree with that. NASCAR started in 1948 and now it is your folk's or grandfolks's sort of entertainment. There are not many young NASCAR fans. I love it when idiots like ricckyflabby post |

wasn’t based on that.

With 75.7% of the fans making over $50,000 per year and 74.7% owning their home, it pretty much blows the stereotype low income, beer drinking redneck right out the window, doesn't it ? -- JerryD(upstateNY) "Wabenzi Prince" <DerrickLawrence (AT) gnaa (DOT) us> wrote in message I love it when idiots like ricckyflabby post http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/article/127802 |
right around 40K. It is a stretch to believe that 75.7% of NASCAR fans are
so far above the average. It is possible, just unlikely. If NASCAR fans
are that flush then some of the cars should be sponsored by jewelry
companies.

A household that was making 50g a year, now either laid off,
or about to be, with 26 years left to pay on their "owned" home
or re-finaced one, is not too flush right about now..
