AboutCoy Jordan Expertise I can answer any questions about drivers, cars, crews, teams, shops, championchips and any technical question about the rules and regulations of NASCAR. The only question I might not be able to answer is one that deals with the small parts inside the car that help the car's performance, but the stuff such as the body, engine, and spoiler are easy.

Question Sick of "NASCAR fan" being used as perjorative. Please tell me how to find annual attendance figs by year for NASCAR events. Breakdown by series helpful. The more detail and references the better, as I am attempting to counter the negative images promulgated by local and national media with facts. Even figures for just 2007 would be great. I am an avid fan since 1951.
Answer Hi Mr. Rich,
I don't really know about the decrease in attendance and what to attribute it to. It could be that gas prices are discouraging fans to not make the journey to the track. It also could be attributed to the wearing off of the glory of the "Race to the Chase" advertisement, the final 10-race playoff series. But i would reference http://www.usatoday.com/sports/motor/nascar/2006-11-14-nascar-cover_x.htm to get real stats and info.
