IndyCar Fans Let Down Pocono.

Resurrected just last year, the IndyCar 500 at Pocono is already in danger of being dropped. This is a sad contrast to the two NASCAR races held there, but according to the CEO of Pocono, attendance has not been favorable. I was able to go to the race last year, and despite the heat I thought it was great, but the crowds were nowhere what you'd find there for NASCAR. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend this year, and that seems to case for a lot of fans, but if you're reading this and are close by, go! It'd be a shame to lose the Tricky Triangle from the schedule just as we got it back.

Plus, if Pocono can succeed then maybe, just maybe we can bring back Nazareth, and that would be a win for everyone. Even Marco Andretti's for !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

More like Indycar lets down Pocono for not hyping up this event instead of splurging so much in the Indy 500 (and almost nil commercials for the Indy roadcourse event, thanks, fans missed out on a fun one there).

Yeah, I'm guessing ticket sales have been pretty slow, hence the fuss. You'll have a great time, just make sure to stock up on booze and food before you go. Pocono is in the middle of nowhere, and the closest food place is the Wawa in Blakeslee.

This is true, I went to the NASCAR race earlier as well.

It's going to take A LOT for Nazareth to come back, there aren't any buildings, grandstands, or even a useable track surface right now.

Speed bumps, my friend, just speed bumps. Well, we won't be using any speed bumps, but you get the point.
