In all seriousness, for anyone that didn't see it, I'd estimate the
grandstands were 85% vacant.

Do you think F1 will sell out Indy? That's a lot of seats...
--David Cook
I think the crowds are small just at oval races, probably because they
have too many seats available and possibly also because, personally I think
oval racing is less exciting overall than road course racing (no flames
please), I agree that this year we've seen some very exciting oval races,
but in general I don't think they are as exciting as road races.
Of course the fact that the IRL is classified as "open-wheel" racing, and
their general suckiness and low attendance reflects poorly on all American
open-wheel racing, so I can see where people are getting worried.
I think the IRL and CART are both hurting due to the split and should
swallow their pride and find a way to work things out, just as long as that
doesn't mean that CART would have to race more oval's than they already do.
Hoping that American open-wheel racing can give the NASCAR boys a run
for their money in popularity one of these decades, just hope they don't
have to switch to ovals to do so.
