Costs are too high. You can’t even look at a picture of a seat for less than $50 at Michigan Speedway.
Personally I’ve always thought they should build up a big dirt berm along the backstretch and charge a flat $20 to sit on the grass.

At several tracks now, that “Big dirt berm along the backstretch” is called Millionaires Row, for the big expensive RV’s, and they charge $1,000 to sit on the grass.
1. Knock Out qualifying is just plain stupid.
2. Putting more & more events onto Satellite TV where people have to pay a monthly fee to see the events is also just plain stupid.
Today’s Social Security recipients live on a very fixed income & WE have been the die-hard NASCAR fans for years. Many of us cannot afford Direct or Dish TV. So you re losing all of us.
The less I am able to see the events on Television, the less I care to save up some money & try to go to an event live.
NHRA is committing suicide, also.
They have sold their event rights to ESPN, and here in the Reno market, ESPN is actually broadcasting Sat qualifying at 4 AM Sunday...I kid you not.
Sunday events are often broadcast at 10 PM Sunday night. Since there is a 2-3 hour difference between Reno time & most of the NHRA events, it is beyond stupid, IMO.
I first followed drag racing over 57 years ago. Then I got into Trans-Am, Can-Am, Formula 5000, Indy cars & NASCAR & Sprint cars. It is harder & harder to find a broadcast of any of these events on a free TV station.
So-—NASCAR & NHRA—you are both losing me & many others.
