FANS EXPLAIN…Why Full Grandstands Make for Better Races on TV



Despite a wild, exciting race at Bristol last weekend, some fans online were complaining about what looked to be less than half-full grandstands at the massive race track.  When asked why a sellout at the track negatively impacted their enjoyment of a race they were watching from home, here were their responses:


Beau Sherwood
“My eyes are allergic to seeing bare metal bleachers—I nearly went blind in 2020” —Beau Sherwood, 34 (accountant)


“Any time we see empty stands, I have to listen to my husband’s monologue about how Nascar died with Dale (Earnhardt) Sr.” —Talia Harris, 42 (teacher)


“I stopped going to races due to traffic in 2005, and I don’t feel like being reminded that I can go back now” —Kris Wilmot, 51 (bartender)


“Duh—because I only got into Nascar because it was popular in the late-90’s” —Josh Hussey, 38 (HVAC technician)


“I use Nascar to perfect my whining so I’ll be ready once the NFL season restarts in the fall” —Kobi Brown, 24 (retail manager)

Ali Love

“When I go to a race, everyone wants to sit right next to ME, so why should Bristol fans have it any better?” —Ali Love, 22 (fashion model)


“It’s all about in-person impressions for sponsors.  And as an owner of 10 shares of Mahindra stock, I think they owe me” —Ty Spangler, 62 (dispatcher)


“I’m a Matt DiBenedetto fan—we complain about everything” —Aric Chambers, 48 (locksmith)


“What should I do—simply compliment Nascar on an exciting race?” —Michelle Bullock, 66 (retired)


Raymon Walker
“I lost my Bristol tickets in the divorce—why remind me that she isn’t even using them anymore?” —Raymon Walker, 41 (customer service representative)


“I just don’t like Nascar anymore, but I can’t find any other sport to like.  You can see the bind I’m in” —M.J. Cooley, 43 (electrical engineer)
