Yes, he knows what he's talking about, but he was also part of the brain-trust that "got it too fancy". Guess hind-sight is always 20-20.

Thank you Johnny!! You are correct, we race for the fun of it, no purse money, just the fun of doing it. And at every track we've been to this season (Carolina Speedway, Dublin, Fayetteville, Myrlte Beach) we've had the largest car count!

I'd venture it'll be the Frank Kimmel street stocks.........they've been running at the Rock for a while now.
A Historic Night for NASCAR - July 24, 2013
Current NASCAR
The marketeers never got it. Don't think they really knew what they were looking for, but if they are still wondering what made this sport tick, the answer was revealed...in a cornfield, on the outskirts of an Ohio town with a population of 201: Eldroa Speedway. Tickets were sold as far a way as New Zealand and as near as the 48 states. In theory and on paper, it makes no sense.........how can a 1/2 dirt track, built in 1954, garner such attention? How did it one-upIndianapolis,for gosh-sakes? The answer has many parts, but fundamentally, it was all about Passion, Energy, and Enthusiasm........... those mystical elements that often defy logic. See, the size of a given market area, and all such tangible assetsusually have nothing to do with it. Fans bring it with them, and it's contagious. And it was felt at Eldora....through the TV screen, no less!
The part the experts really missed was NASCARhad such venues. Changing geographic and exploring new markets was only at the expense of the existing ones. How many states and foreign countries would be represented if North Wilkesboro hosted theAll Starrace?
