Do we have an accurate attendance figure for Vegas? Somewhere I read it was 24,000. New Hampshire was considered a failure with 28,000 and a lot less promotion...Quote:

and there is no LVMS for 2012,,,the remainder of the schedule remains in a kankedortQuote:
throw in up to 15,000 for Vegas. Despite giving away for free, upwards of 80,000 tickets to the event, if 15,000 showed up, that was a lot. 15,000 in a stadium that holds 132,000. It looked bad for IndyCar for what was supposed to be their 'grand' finale.
Anybody believe that?Quote:
INDYCAR announced today that the IZOD IndyCar Series will not race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2012.
The series was scheduled to close its 2012 season at the speedway on Oct. 14, but INDYCAR and speedway officials said considerable testing with the new car is needed prior to returning to the facility.
"We feel we need to give our technical team ample time to conduct thorough testing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, once we complete our ongoing investigation into the 15-car accident during the Oct. 16 race at the track," INDYCAR CEO Randy Bernard said.
The 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series season opens March 25 with the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. The complete schedule will be announced in the coming weeks.
BTW Do guys at Indy know that this is still a link on their Website?
