Wow. I wasn't expecting a sellout or anything, but the crowd is much smaller than I thought it would be.

That crowd is pathetic.

And anybody notice the voice that introduced the guy giving the command? Gonna miss him.

You know, racing infront of such a small crowd with so many empty seats is not really good for the sport itself

My dad and I are willing to bet that there were more people at Pole day at the 500 than here today.

A rare positive post:

NICE rail cam down pit lane watching the field take it start, loved that view.

OK, Gentlemen, resume your negativity

There is a nice big group of fans in Turn 4. And a moderate group in 1 as well.

I'm not saying it's a good crowd but it's not the end of the world.

I like momentum race tracks but it's more exciting with cars that aren't underpowered.

I'm going to try to balance my posts by saying 1 positive and 1 negative thing each.

that camera angle was pretty cool at the start.

5 laps in! better go to commercial....

That's the thing. Holding a Nationwide race at Indianapolis is comparable to holding a high school football game at Cowboys Stadium.

Being in view of one of the big video screens scattered around the track probably helps.
