Fans watch TV instead of going to Cup races
Fans go to the local track more because it is closer
Fans go to the local track less because the fuel is so expensive
Racetracks are struggling to pay purses, insurance, etc
Racetracks are pulling in the same money they always have
Sponsors are cutting back because of inflation
Sponsors are still in need of places to put their advertising $
Racers are less likely to travel long distances
Racers continue to travel to point races
I personally am hurt by high gasoline, food & other goods' prices
I have less money due to loss of a job or hours
I really don't think things are bad off & RW should stick to racing, not economics.
