Ticket prices
NA$CAR tracks are slashing ticket prices in 2009.
Daytona's cheapest ticket for the 500 drops from $99.00/each down to $55.00.
Other tracks are also reducing prices by as much as 25 to 50 percent.
Looks like everyone involved with NA$CAR will be tightening their belts this year.
Only time will show if this helps attendance.

That's been lacking - at least at my local track anyway.

One day, you ought to make it to Atlanta Motor Speedway...
It offers the fastest track (no restrictor plates) currently.
After driving AMS @ speed (~ 165mph), I have a much higher regard for the NA$CAR drivers.

i did Bristol in March 2006. Its a long long way, 13 hours of travelling on 2 flights to Knoxville then a 2 hr coach trip to the track - 3 hr back.
Worth every penny and I met some really cool guys from Alabama.Racing Pics 03-08

Tänak and Ogier are fighting for the win, so they are definitely on pace, but Neuville from a worse road position keeps the same tempo. It's a great job by Neuville.
