How far has the NASCAR Busch East Series grown in the last calendar year?Try this: There are 31 BES cars at Thompson International Speedway for their Pepsi Racing 100 tonight. By contrast, there are only 24 Super Late Models -- including a chunk of the track's weekly regulars -- in the pit area for a 75-lap feature.
Still, the sun is shining and the weather is perfect for a midsummer day of racing. Apparently, the fans here in Connecticut never got the memo.
Someone daring enough could walk through the grandstand and introduce themselves to everyone sitting there.
The first of 3 PASS North Series heats are hitting the track right now. The feature is set for sometime after 7 p.m., with the BES main around 8:30. We'll keep you posted.

I disagree with the size of the crowd you reported. However I did not see it until feature time, at which it looked like nearly a full house. At least much better than last year's crowd.
That's a great point, cc.
I, too, noticed that by the time the racing started, there was a very good crowd on hand.
My bad for not pointing that out much sooner.
