    Football Time in Tennessee Brings Drop Off in Racing



    Whether it be high school, college or NFL, football season has an impact on racing. That is especially true here in Tennessee.

      I see they rather watch the Volunteers get their a$$ kicked just about every wkend and pay way to much money for titans ticket... and they complain about paying 30 for pit pass.

        Near us, Penton shuts down for the year in August. Some of our younger people stop going to races in favor of football! Sad to many of us, but true.

          From Tennessee, big Vols fan, not gonna stop me from being at a race track on Saturdays in the Fall if I can help it. They can go 7-5 or maybe 8-4 just fine without me missing some dirt tracking.

              In WV its the same way, the Friday tracks mostly shut down when high school season starts, & when WVU plays forget about getting any kind of fan support at a race track when there is a football night game scheduled.

                Two things:

                1--That is not isolated to just Tennessee.
                2--The number of fans of racing is a small fraction when compared to the number of fans of football.
