I just looked at the morgan morclure sight. It wasnt many years ago when a man with two chevy dealerships could build a racecar and win races. This sport is not a sport anymore. A 16 year old kid with saved up paper route money has no chance of even buying a ticket to a race, or have a chance in hell of building a car and racing it. Time to get back to the basics. A man with some money can start his own racing series. Rent the tracks on different weekends. and screw the rip off nascar crap. Then going to the races and building a car or even working on one will be worth it again. Go Robby

What you discribed is your local short track, when was the last time you supported them?
You don't always get to start at the top!
I'm don't trying to be mean, but your local Chevy dealer is probably just making payroll and doesn't have money to piss away on racecars.

Right about the announcers.....never a mention of the crowd (or lack of it), NEVER taking ANY exception to a NASCAR ruling (check your panties guys). When was the last time you heard 'sold out' re: any race. No 'tight' grandstand shots....only 'panned out' shots from the blimp, and isolated to as close to the track as possible.

The empty seats at Indy were jaw-dropping. Even the wide shots couldn't hide them. I have been to Talladega off and on numerous times in the past 10 years. I remember going to the fall 2001 race, just after the death of Dale Earnhardt and the terrorist attacks. Everyone at the track was talking about how attendence was down. It was way worse than that this spring.

Even Bristol doesn't sell out any more. I think the COT has hurt racing at that track more than any where else.

I was surprised to hear talk of Sonoma being taken off the schedule to get another Vegas date. Isn't attendance at Sonoma still strong?

Fontanna lost a race, not Sonoma aka Sears Point.
