      How many folks were in the stands? Looked empty & the racing wasn't good either! Quite rough. Really hope tomorrow & next weekend is better! At least JD came from the back.

          I think the novelty of Bristol dirt will wear off pretty quickly, just like it did in the early 2000’s. It’s a neat event but once you’ve seen it, meh.

              The video I watched stands were empty.

                If it's really true you can make more money off of streaming these races than selling actual race tickets, let's hope there was a bunch of people streaming the race.

                At 40 a month, XR just isn't worth it for me right now.

                  For what Hodges posted on twitter that's insane to pay that kind of money before you even get on the track. Reminds me of these crate series racers, they pay big entry dollars at there shows also, I've heard 125 to 200.

                    I would venture to say the average DLM fan has NO access to this series. Most already subscribe to Flo or Dirtvision and are taking a wait and see attitude on XR. There is also very little publicity or stories on the series coming from the MAIN STREAM racing publications as well. Unless you follow the series on their Facebook page, which I know I don't, it is hard to find information. It will be interesting to see how this plays out going forward.

                      I agree with you BTE. No news except on their own website and social media pages. Thanks to Pops Garage you can watch the races on YouTube. The late model races were not very good. I basically fast forwarded through each video. This was/is a function of it being Bristol, I believe. Plus, the stands were basically empty.

                      As much as people complain about Lucas and WOO, people follow them and look forward to them. They pack the stands and most make it an event. Unfortunately, I have a bad feeling about our beloved sport with this group splitting up the already limited number of cars.

                        This is spot on, and exactly what I mentioned before.

                            If you pay $25k to win $3k to start for 40 laps and have a consi race pay 10k to win $1k to start for 20 laps I think you would have a huge car count.

                              The streaming services are now in charge of dirt late model racing.

                              I watch the XR streams here and there. They do a lot of things wrong and some things right. It needs polished and an ego check. Otherwise, no one will take them seriously.

                                They aren’t paying that. So yeah they aren’t getting the count.
