    WOW !! Empty seats

    I could not believe all the empty seats last night at Knoxville.
    It looked like only around 200 people in the stands.
    Was I blind or is it like that for just Thursday ???
    Knoxville is on my bucket list. I think it looks like a great track.

    I think there is about 40 rows, and the top 10-15 are under cover where most people would be sitting. Plus the grandstands are huge, so it was probably a bigger crowd than you think. And if you haven't been, it is a awesome facility and fun little town that loves racing.

        If there's confusion between 200 and 5-6000, somebody needs some help I am not able to provide.

          What's with all the A55holes on here lately?

          That place will look empty until it hits 10000 people they have so many seats. I wasn't there, watched at home, but in my experience the Thursday attendance is pretty low, but Friday/Saturday is significantly higher.

            They might not be able to count higher than 200.

              Thursday night is tough anyway, but with the weather so uncertain, it was an ok crowd. I was impressed last week at Eldora with a good Thurs. crowd. The forecast sucked and people turned out. If only the guys I was with wasn't so over-served, I could have stayed until the final checkered at around 3 am. I expect a good crowd tonight.

                Agreed, its so big that it looks empty for any event other than the Sprint Car Nationals events.
                Its a Sprint car town. Gotta wait for the out-of-towners to start filling it up tonight and tomorrow.

                      Honestly, I paid for the broadcast and i am not going to spend my time on this site giving free updates when I could be enjoying the racing. If you want to know what's going on live, then pay for it like the rest of it.

                        If you want live updates, get a twitter account. Carcount, fast time, lineups and results for heats, consi, and feature. Pretty much immediately after they happen.
                        I live with fear, but sometimes she lets me race.

                          Don't even need an account to follow Twitter. I can read updates when I'm logged out.

                            Or check Persiscope or Facebook Live. I reckon someone will be pirating the show.
