Yeah, what the world needs now is more stock car racing on a big, 2-mile, D-shaped oval. Give me a ticket to that race at Michigan this weekend, and I'm praying for a Pocono repeat.You know, just get me to lap 101 and send me the heck home.
I'm amazed that people actually pay money to watch races with cars spread out by a couple of seconds per position, just coasting around the track at 190 mph like it's some sort of organized practice session. Not to mention that Michigan International Speedway is infamous for its horrendous traffic logjams following the day's racing, or that it always seems to be about 110 degrees when they race there.
I just don't think these places make for good racing whatsoever, and it's amazing that they build more like them. Is it any wonder that it's a struggle to sell tickets at California, which is a relatively new facility on the NASCAR scene, but Bristol, Richmond and Martinsville continue to sell out?
Hello?

Superspeedways are what made the sport grow. If you check the history they are the most competitive racetracks in the sport. And we always see more passing up front on a superspeedway than we possibly can on any short track.
Bristol and the other short tracks sell out (or at least advertise that they do) because they are in racing demographics. Michigan International Speedway is in a racing demographic as well.
