The recession seems to have hit the sport hard, and I think attendance has been off at many tracks for a number of years now. Back in the day NHIS (as it was known when owned by the Bahre family) had continual sell-outs and a 10,000 name waiting list.
I agree. 15 years ago the track was sold out 6 months before the race. I purchased my tickets a year in advance. Now you can get good seats on the day of the race at the track. New Hampshire will probably lose one of the two Nascar cup races in the near future.
