wow. sucks to be them.
man that does suck. Dover is one of the tracks i like. i hope they can continue to run races there after this year.
its cuz nascar wants more money in its pockets. they cut back tv deals and percentages from those deals and it screws evrybody but them.dover is a awesome track and the racing has always been good there. i hope they can continue.
what is sad is that dover ONLY runs nascar races. I bet if they had some other events the track would generate more revanue….
i hope they stay there, they are the only track that im able to go to and have ever seen a race at
y’know that really sucks, i go to both races at dover every year. and i’d to see them lose
a race to someother cookie cutter track, because they’re losing so much money. we need
tracks in the north east!!!!
shit dover is like a super sized bristol. what dont people like about that? nascar should be all over that place, seein how the racing was better in the fall dover race than the fall bristol race last year.
…or the spring bristol race this year.
Dover is awesome. I have been to the last 3 races and I see no
reason why they are losing money. Racing at Dover is better than
most races during the season. We need Nascar Races at Dover!
if they got a cut from the casino they would turn a good profit. i know i’ve left penty $$$ at that casino. that is one of the best trax, i have ever been too. hope they can hang in there.
