I always thought that when they added safer barriers to the straightaways is when they killed the racing. Now instead of the car on the outside pinching the inside line down the track does it for them. Completely change the radius of the track and killed the bottom line. You may be right. All I know is that when I was going to the races there in the early 2000's, it was really difficult to get tickets and every race was sold out. The year after they reconfigured it, the place wouldn't even be 3/4 full, and it's been that way ever since. Watching the stands tonight was an absolute joke - maybe 1/3 full. And that was on a SUNDAY - not even a Monday rain delay. So, whatever the reason is, fans like myself who once clamored to go to Bristol lost interest once the racing there changed. good news---now i can get good seats for next year!!! hope im alone..lol |

I have friends that still go and have greatly improved their seats from years ago and say there are small patches of empties littered around the track. Too bad because it really was amazing seeing that place completely full a decade ago. |

Too bad because it really was amazing seeing that place completely full a decade ago. I decided to go last minute - made the 5 hour drive from Alabama by myself. I was able to get a single ticket for $40 (face was $118) about 2 hours before the race. |

Missed the race. Was at the hospital all day. Does anyone know of any site/channel that might offer a replay? on directv, 1220 on demand, already available Thanks -I have directv, went to 1220, but couldn't find the Bristol race. I think I'll wait until it comes up on YouTube. |
