Also since you and Vinny both do not want shorter races I'll suggest this, how about we make both Pocono races from 500 to 1,000. Lee88-20 wrote:

They actually had a tarp covering huge scetions of the seats because they couldnt sell out to make it appear fuller. I think the races are too short already lol.

The races are not that exciting at the track. They need to knock the place down and build a super speedway.[/quote] Oh yeah because Tona, Dega and Cali are real exciting races....... (rolls eyes) They just need to make Cup races shorter. Look at the truck series with their 250 mile races, there is no time to just ride around, you have to race. As far as why it wasn't sold out, my question is this, was it sold out as in actual tickets sold, or does that track not sell any tickets before race day? Personally I think it was actually pretty close to a sell out, its just that people didn't show up, and the threat of weather on Sunday could have been part of the reasoning behind that.
