All those Empty seats....

Watching the Joliet NASCAR race, the stands aren't even half full! Have they ever sold that race out? Chicago is NOT a Racing town!

In their defense its only a Nationwide Series race and not Sprint Cup. Expecting a crowd there is like expecting a crowd for a NHRA divisional race...

Weird ... I was at the Norwalk national event 2 weeks ago and it wasn't even close to being sold out. It was a good crowd, but there were plenty of seats.

Norwalk had rain everyday

Plus all the tickets for the divisional are free. The National to the Divisional at Norwalk is not an apples to apples comparison was all I meant.

There were threats of rain, otherwise, Norwalk would have been sold out, and jam packed. Still a great crowd, regardless.

Looked like Denver had a good crowd.

I wasn't there last night (watched on Speed) but I have been there for WOO shows and it is in the middle of nowhere. It is 30 miles from I-75 and the hotels and restaurants.
