According to a USA Today article, tickets for this year's Brickyard 400 weren't too hot.
Fans couldn't give tickets away for Sunday's Brickyard 400, according to The Indianapolis St ar, a thud of a finish for Indianapolis Motor Speedway's "Super Weekend" push.
Sara Hurtman , 31, told the Star that she tried to give away a seat (with a $75 value) on Facebook and at the Speedway entrance, but found no takers. "People don't seem to get into it as much these days," the Noblesville, Ind., resident said.
Tickets were going for as little as $25 on Craigslist. Kyle Berher , 26, told the Star he had been attending the race for 10 years and had never seen the stands so empty. He said he bought a ticket for $45 (half price) outside the Speedway.
The result can't be too gratifying for IMS, which added the Nationwide Series and Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series races to spruce up the weekend in hopes of reversing sagging attendance. IMS President Jeff Belskus had predicted Thursday that the crowd wouldn't drop for a fifth consecutive year at his track, which has seating for 257,000, by far the most in NASCAR.
