300 and 400 mile races don’t have any cache. We’re on the 2nd tier of NASCAR races. It would be nice if the speedway was accessible to the public for use as it just sits empty nearly all year. What a waste of that great racetrack.
The track is used for many different many days per year. You are misinformed if you think it sits idle between the two races.
I didn’t say it sits idle. Simply pointing out that my bathroom sees more action than the 1200 acres the speedway sits on.
I’ve said this before, and I’ll say this again:
When they made the pitch for the Hollywood Casino, one of the requirements was that the road course that’s now a part of the track/infield would hold “events” each year. It doesn’t have any events on their schedule this year at all — isn’t that a breach of contract?
Oh, that’s right — they’re allowed to do that. Kind of like that hotel they were supposed to build out there, right?
