I saw the Pepsi 400 in 1999 and the shopping centers near the track charged $40 to park……that was 11 years ago.
The race just chums the water and then the sharks have a feeding frenzy.

I to agree with Junior
we don’t go to races anymore because of the cost,the towns and the race parks need to wake up and smell the coffee,
Don’t they know about the recession surely cheaper prices means less empty seats this also applies to motels, food, entrance fees to all events after all it’s no good playing to an empty stadium.

It is no different than how the Country is going to hell. Nothing will change until the people themselves do something about it. Stay home for a few races. Make the hotels and the tracks lose money for a change. Then you will see race fan packages coming out your behind.

This is one of the reasons Jr is so popular, he cares about his fans. I could pay the gouging rates at the tracks but I don’t like being taken advantage of. Whats right is right and whats wrong is wrong. Do the the right thing and I’ll be at most races

It used to be fun to go to 5 or 6 races a season, but forget it now. It is no wonder the tickets are not all sold and it appears to me tv tries to not show all the empty seats. What about the tracks that require you to buy tickets to both races whether you can attend or not? That leaves you either trying to sell one set and use the other.
The sponsors not only fork over big bucks to support the team, but provide other perks to the drivers and teams.
It is time someone thought of the fans cause if not NASCAR will be a thing of the past and the tracks housing developments.
I am not a JR fan but agree with him on this subject.
Thank you

yes! JR is correct! in feb the cheapest hotel/motel was %))/night and it had to be a minium of 5 nights and it wan’t even on the beach / you would’nt take your dog there! and since i have a bad back i could’nt take advantage of the frr track parking so i had to getup @ 4am and drive to a parking space i found for 20/pre cup race to 40 cup races in order to be able to walk to track! the track dosent open till 9am i am done!!!!!i cant afford the hotel prices, and horrible parking
prices so , not mention the 300.00 price of my tickets ! i am finally retired and can’t even afford to go to daytona for the speedweeks and races and cant drive back 200+ miles each day!

I am glad someone is seeing the light. After many years of racing my husband and I will not be attending any races this year. The tickets, the food, staying in the area, whether motel or camping, has gone to far. They need to wake up and see what the economy is really looking like. Wish I could attend, but I’ll be watching front row in the livingroom.
