"Football kills Nascar. Have a Nascar race in every city on the same day where there is a NFL football game and Nascar will get killed on attendance."
 
150,000 on Sunday, 100,000 on Saturday (Bousch racing), 50,000 weeklong pit passes, and 26 weeks of racing are some pretty impressive numbers.
 
I watch football, of course, but when you see a mile long straightaway, with nothing but fans 50 deep, you have to be impressed.

But that's regional, not local. You're not comparing apples-apples.

As for Nascar, I lost interest when they started using those wimpy restricter plates on the carburetors. Buddy Baker still holds the fastest average speed at the Daytona 500 from what year? LOL!

Those are big numbers. But NFL football draws roughly 20 full stadiums (50,000 to 80,000 seats) every Sunday. And Saturday College football may draw even more. Ohio Stadium packs in around 100K every home game to see the Buckeyes trounce on their given opponent.
