My buddy just sent me these pics. He's in Turn 4. He said it's the easiest he's ever had traffic in all the decades he's been going to the 500 or the 400! Anybody out there from Hunting-Indiana?   |

Front stretch is about 80% full... all the corners are light!
They had sold 60,000 tickets before today... last week at Dalington the sold out at 60k!
I am setting on front stretch in B stand
Going to be a Ford day it seems

Hasn’t for years, but it is a monster facility designed for what? 250k? Radio said 65k. Still a bunch of people just nothing like it used to be. Great race today!

NASCAR and the Drivers get the same take home money no matter how many folks come to the race.... the track is the only winner when the place is full!

Well our town doesn’t help any. I think I heard one or two ads on the radio for it and no DJ’s talking it up like the 500. Very little articles in the papers. I agree it isn’t an exciting track for NASCAR and next year will be worse with it being in July or something like that?

It's football season. Ain't nobody got time for that! I used to be a huge follower of NASCAR. I only watch a few races each year now. To be honest, I didn't even realize the Brickyard was this weekend. I never saw or heard a single advertisement for it on the local stations. I'm not sure why these races don't get promoted.

No clue it was this weekend until trooper buddy posted picks from the pits.
