Well, it was bound to happen. Given today's state of the economy, many people are travelling less and spending less on entertainment. An article in The Independent Tribune says that business at The Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord has been "slower than usual". One vendor says that his business is off by 60%.

If you've been avoiding going to the races because tickets were sold out or you'd prefer not to fight the huge crowds, this may be just your opportunity. The Coca-Cola 600 will be in Concord this Sunday, May 24, 2009 and there are plenty of good seats still available.  According to local media, there are also hotel vacancies near the track this race week.

Cheryl:  Although I might occasionally watch part of one of these races on television... being at one 'live" is most certainly NOT the place I'd want to be.  Lots of folks love them... and I am sure it is great for your local economy to have them held so near.  Take care... thanks for sharing...

Hello Karen... I'll have to agree with you about going to a live race... I think the fumes and loud noise would give me a HEADACHE!
