Indeed it was. The speeches of bothMargaret Sue and Terry Labonte exuded pure C L AS S.
I'll reserve judgement. Don't know these folks. There's a lot more to successfully promoting races than just opening the gates, though.
From 112,029 seats to 60,000 and they still can't sell them. What am I missing?
I never see the name Eastaboga that I don't think of part-time stock car racer and fulltime trucker, Johnny Ray of Eastaboga setting the world's closed course speed record for a full tractor-trailer rig at Alabama International Motor Speedway (what is now called Talladega SuperSpeedway) in 1975. I don't know what Johnny Mallonee was doing that day.
At the rate they're going, ISC will soon tear down all the seats at Richmond that we worked so hard to build back in the 90s. The news item of the latest Richmond grandstandtear downbrings tears to my eyes. I watched every one of those seats constructed on a daily basis when I was Media Relations Director at Richmond from 1990-1999. Just pitiful.
