I attended the 2003 race and it was 3 seconds of racing and 50 seconds of napping waiting for that 3 seconds.

I guess those ads promoting 'plenty of good seats still available' they bought during the Rolex worked.

I know NASCAR is big, but it's not quite that big!

Yep ... something's working.

A total sell-out.
The purse is over $18 million.
14 rows of 3 cars starting.
Bumping.
The most watched racing event of the year.

It'll be a long, long while before the Nascar Enterprise reaches earth again.

Way to go NASCAR. How are the rest of the races doing in terms of ticket sales? All sellouts?

What's even more amazing is that even with the sellout they still won't draw as many folks as the Indianapolis 500, my destination again this coming May.

Is that a function of demand? Or capacity?

BTW - what were the Daytona 500 tix going for?
