Sink or swim.
Stock Car Racing History
Since the All Star race this past weekend I've heard more and more suggestions, or request, that the race be moved to a different facility. Many are tired of O. Bruton Smith and family, some are tired of the antic-limactic racing, and others just want to see something different. After 27 races at Charlotte I agree its time to consider a different venue. I understand that the Charlotte area is considered The Hub of the sport and that the majority of the teams and employees are located close to the speedway, but that is not the reason for the race. The race is for the fans, and lately they haven't been getting their money's worth.Charlotte Motor Speedway is a great facility and has been a leader in the sport for the majority of its existence but there is only so much they can do. Between the lack luster racing, the ever changing formats, and now the rediculous 'Fan Vote' many of the are losing intrest in the race. It just don't live up to the hype any more. At this point I think a change would help to reinvigorate the weekend and bring a little excitement back to the race. And judging from all the empty seats it is obvious that many no longer care to pay the lofty price of a ticket, fight the crowds and traffic and be at the mercy of the weather and walk away and wonder why they came.What do you think, should Sprint ask that the race be moved to a different facility? Should the race be rotated between several different size tracks, or just moved to a different track to see what happenes? If you had a say, what track would you think would put on the best show for the fans? Me personally, I would vote for Richmond.Sound off!Bumpertag in S. Carolina
