That is a lot folks watching Nascar! Wow.
I think all tracks need to update like Vegas did.
Being able to see the drivers in the garage is the best - that would be important to me because as far as the actual race goes you can probably see it better on TV.....do you need a season ticket to get in the garage area there?
Many tracks also need to fix their way in and out....waiting for 2-3 hours to get out is not fun.
