Not Ranked
I think it is a stretch to blame factors beyond the Great Recession for lower attendance.
My house is down 30%, my stocks are down 30%, and my cars are worth 30% less. The only thing that I can think of that is up is my tax bill.
I'll admit that I do not attend Nascar races and never will. I am a road racing fan. However, the best race that I watched lately is the Nationwide race at Road America a few weeks ago. Carl Edwards won. He dominated the race to give Ford its first victory this year (and maybe the only victory based on how Ford has been doing this year in Nascar).
Jamie Allison sure is having having poor year as Director of Ford racing. Maybe Ford fans are not going to events because Ford can't get out of their own way on the race track?
