It isn’t even worth watching and the prices are outrageous. Last year the races never finished. More enjoyable watching 5 yr old bumper bowl.

Well don’t worry, scuttlebutt is this is the last year of the three year contract and NASCAR will move to another street course in another city. Perhaps in California (San Diego was mentioned).

Who needs NASCAR when you can see a much more exciting, audience interactive “ side show “ every weekend in certain cities that act powerless to stop them. St. Louis, for all its foibles, managed to shutdown one of the first ones there recently and arrested people and towed vehicles. Imagine that!
