I was watching some of the Darlington Race yesterday on cable, since the regular networks didn't carry it. Of course the Toyotas dominated, but was interested in some of the commentary from Ned Jarrett and others about the mostly full attendance. I had to do some research and discovered interesting statistics. Darlington has removed almost 10,000 seats in just over 2 seasons. In addition I noticed huge reductions in other mostly popular tracks (attached) that lead me to believe this sport is not sustaining its popularity as it has in the many previous decades. The millennial age is not much interested.
