    right on jog49! I'm pretty sure CIRF and a number of others will agree, but good luck swaying Brian France Jr. / Mr. Nascar that way haha He's more in favor of Nascar being like a dangerous game of go fish.

      You claim to be for real?! Sheesh!
      Pretty full? Not according to the guy that buys my 8 tickets every year. He said it was about 2/3rds full. The last time I was at Michigan there were seats from turn 3 all the way to turn 2 and as I said they were full! No, not full, sold out. These days the seats are all gone in turns 2 & 3, most of them are gone in 1 & 4 and what's left are only maybe 2/3rds full. If that's your example of progress I'd hate to see an example of regression! Hehehehe!

      Mr. Gimmick is a much more suitable metaphor in this case. LOL!!



      GO PEE WEE JR.!!

Newman almost won the whole thing by achieving very little so the significance is much diminished, IMO.
          You are totally correct!!!

            Yessir A ron, you're correct on all counts! May I be so bold as to add Mr. Gimmick to the list of moniker's you have established for the guy wearing the NASCAR colored glasses drinking the "chase" kool aid from the Brian France solo cup?

            I got my info from the family that has been buying my MIS tickets since 2000. In 15 years of attending races at Michigan I'm pretty sure they have a handle on the size of crowd. I'll take their word for it over a TV head count any day. And, you still haven't addressed the fact that there have been 10's of thousands of seats removed.

                Please point out what is fiction and prove it's fiction and not just your NASCAR kool-aid induced delirium.

                Grumbling? Shirley you're not serious!!

                How many times do I gotta' tell ya' dude (you Cali guys are all dudes, aren't you! Hehehe!), I'm an avid NASCAR fan and a rabid pee wee jr. fan, and will be until pee wee is out of contention or the season is over, whichever comes first!!

                GO PEE WEE JR.!!

                  MEH... you know what fiction. Here's the deal in a nutshell... for what ever reason, you figure NASCAR pee'd in your Cheerios and you don't like it....I get that, so what.... grow up and move on...you don't like NASCAR, fine, I don't care whether you like it or not.... so you go out and "stat" yourself up a storm cause I couldn't care any less if I actually tried.... I enjoy it and that's te only part that I really have to worry about... and because I watch it, and you don't, you have to rely on second hand info and I don't.... so go peddle your grumbles somewhere else, cause they're falling on deaf ears here....

                    Nascar declining? you decide Michigan overnite ratings 2.4 down 20% from last year so far this season 11 of the last 12 races has seen a decline from the two previous years.

                      We have obviously gotten under your skin because no completely sane human being would suggest that anything NASCAR has ever done could possibly hurt my feelings. I feel bad about causing you such distress! LOL!! Come in from left field and we'll cheer on pee wee together! Literally LOL!!

                      You've drunk the kool aid and possibly you should apply for a PR job with NASCAR. Anyone with your kind of blind love for something as flawed and out of touch as NASCAR certainly would have a bright future and would be a highly valued employee. LOL!!

                      We'll be attending 4 dirt races in just over 48 hours this coming weekend and the cost of those 4 shows will be less than 1/2 of an average NASCAR ticket and the racing will be far superior to any Cup race of the last 15 years. You'll be worshiping all gimmicks and fantasizing about NASCAR. Hehehehe!!!

                        No distress here, I enjoy banter, even from someone with limited knowledge such as yourself.

                        To the best of my knowledge, I don't believe I have received anything to drink from NASCAR, nor do I expect anything, other then the great racing they gives us on a weekly basis...

                        I crew chief on a 2014/15 Cornett powered, Warrior DLM, I was at the Diamond Nationals and the North South this year and Knoxville last year, for the third time .... I'll just assume your a know it all bleacher jockey at dirt track too....LOL

                          Mudslinger, to each his own, but I find it disturbing that someone in a position such as yourself, can enjoy watching all the hard work those crews put in all year taken away by a single cut tire, bad call, blown engine, or failed part the very last race. New Development: if Nascar is doing so well, why has MWR decided to close its doors after 2015?

                            BUT in the same token, you don't want Busch's team to enjoy the accolades of working hard and toiling all season long on the 18 car....so whats the difference? Just cause Kyle was'nt in the car doesn't mean they didn't work harder then ever to keep it competitive... and Kyle could suffer the same tire, or motor or any other issue that can happen in the chase..nature of the bizz now..

                              Anybody think that Kyle Busch winning a bunch and climbing up the points ladder to make the chase could be rigged? It's a big time hype situation for NASCAR bringing lots of attention to the races. Sort of like some of Junior's feel good for the times wins and Danica winning the first woman Daytona 500 pole.

                                It doesn't take a lot to go back and add up the points ya know.... and you think you could get Bad Brad or Kevin Harsucks to turn their heads the other way? There is a fool born every minute, and I don't think your one of them.... there are no secrets.... they don't time these guys with a stop watch any more ya know....
