Ticket sales are down for this race. A memo was put out for this race saying: "ticket sales are significantly behind from previous years" at IMS. Since sales have been dramatically down since the 2008 tire problems at the track, another significant decline would appear ominous. The memo goes on to say, the track believed there would be a large walk-up crowd for the July 31 race and hoped the autograph session would be well received by race fans.” The Nationwide Series makes it last run at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis for the “30^th Annual Kroger 200” Saturday night under the lights at 7:30pm on ESPN 2. Next year the Nationwide Series moves to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for NASCAR’s Attempt at building its fan base for this series. I really don't want to see this race gone from this track, I think its a big mistake by NASCAR. What are your thoughts? The Camping World Series runs Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis Friday night under the lights at 7:30pm for the “AAA Insurance 200” on SPEED.
