Hey guys, the pit crew member needs to have his head examined to be sure, but a tire in the infield draws a caution every time. The loose tire caused those guys to go 1, 2, and 3 laps down, not the crew member.

BTW, I'll bet that pit crewman knows how a deer feels when it tries to cross in front of an 18-wheeler. Does that make a deer strike "one of them racin' deals"?

NASCAR continues to screw up the sport. Now they are doing their best to ignore the attendance problems. NASCAR's official websit shows the crew member, chasing the tire, but in the background is nothing but empty seats.(I'm sure it will be removed shortly) Sure, the economy has something to do with it but their are many other factors. Everybody has cought on to the fact that there are only five

I planned to carry my wife and 13 year old daughter to the race today. The AMS website had tickets advertised for $39 adults and $19 kids. When I logged in to buy them, the only tickets available were $88 and up. I could afford $100 to go, but not $300. Until Na$car realizes that common people can't spend a weeks pay to attend a race, you'll see attendance keep dropping...

one reason for the small number of cars on the lead lap was the idiocy of the pit crew member from the 47 team running out to try and catch a tire that was almost out ot the track! Duh! Well, I tried to do my part, I tuned in via TV all day and I'm planning to go to the Sept. race although I'd like it better if they weren't trying to masquerade it as the Southern 500. That race title belongs

So far, so boring ...... 9 cars on the lead lap at 139 laps. Only 186 to go ... Can't wait for Bristol

I would hate to see Atlanta lose a race it a great track and I have no idea why it does not bring in 90,000 plus per event. Bruton could move the spring date to Kentucky but I can't figure how Vegas comes into play they already have a spring race and they can't race there 2 weeks in a row. But maybe if they bring in some Hollywood types and have a concert before the race it might help. That was

You are exactly correct when you say "Atlanta Motor Speedway IS Atlanta." It represents Atlanta sports perfectly, which is NOT good - a lack of attendance. The Braves, Falcons, Thrashers and Hawks just don't draw fans. Neither does AMS. I would hate for the track to lose a date, but at the same time, I don't feel sorry for Bruton Smith. And if Darlington can lose Labor Day and be down to one race

Its not Nascar "abandoning its roots". Its the fans voting with their dollars where they want to see races.

I'd hate to see the races leave. NASCAR is abandoning it's roots and Atlanta may be another casualty.
