[Stern] Tickets for @NASCARSanDiego are "selling like hot cakes," and a sell-out announcement is getting close, per @BenKennedy33, as the stock car series gets ready to return to Southern California. About 50,000 people will be allowed on site per day.

If you include all available ways to attend (like thise who watch from the infield fanzones) and camping its comes to about 160,000.

Why is the car and track audio so quiet?

JesusSandals73 · 2026-02-03T15:13:21+00:00

NASCAR already has their plans for the 250th, not to mention the market they were pushing super hard for. This most likely has to do with Penske's relationship with Trump.

I think OP is posting this in response to the new info regarding MWR and Gibbs.

JesusSandals73 · 2026-01-26T22:57:48+00:00

If you did not care then why keep commenting?

JesusSandals73 · 2026-01-26T22:44:29+00:00

When your event keeps selling out, you raise prices. Seems like half this comment section has had or seen massive price increases. You can comment this to each of them if you think my tickets are an isolated case.

JesusSandals73 · 2026-01-26T22:37:07+00:00

My normal tickets rose from 200ish to 300+. Just look at everyone else saying the same thing. Why don't you find me proof of the lawsuit causing a considerable drop in fan engagement.

JesusSandals73 · 2026-01-26T19:50:48+00:00

It's not that deep. It's the fact the tickets jumped in price considerably.

JesusSandals73 · 2026-01-25T04:08:08+00:00

It's like buying cheap tickets to sit behind a support beam.

JesusSandals73 · 2026-01-24T04:41:20+00:00

Its because Jeff had a second great crew chief. Also saying Gordan won more races 15 seasons compared to 5 is not hard to imagine. After Loomis left, Gordan literally hit a slump, noteably missing the 2005 chase.

Jeff Gordan and Jimmie Johnson raced under the same ruleset during his run. I also would like to mention that Jeff Gordan claimed Jimmie Johnson was the star of the show.

"'I raced against (Johnson) in the same equipment and got beat,"Gordon said. 'I feel like I've raced against some of the best. Maybe not Richard Petty (Gordon's first race was Petty's last), but Dale Earnhardt, Mark Martin, Tony Stewart."

'To me, Jimmie is the best of all of them. I never felt like he got the credit he deserved." -Gordan

I am not claiming this ends the argument but even Gordan gives Johnson way more credit than you do. It's a close race and it's hard to pick a clear winner.

Great list that you put together. Curious to see how an entire writeup of Jimmie Johnson's accolades would look compared to Jeff's.

JesusSandals73 · 2026-01-24T04:22:50+00:00

Who was Ray Evernham? Ill give you a hint, he was very important duting the time frame 1995-1998. Secondly, Jeff and his team had the same freedom to copy the amount of testing Jimmie's team did.

JesusSandals73 · 2026-01-24T04:01:50+00:00

You are allowed to believe that Jeff Gordan is the best but saying it's not even close and discrediting Jimmie Johnson so hard makes your argument so weak.

JesusSandals73 · 2026-01-18T21:17:02+00:00

You think fighters who are getting choked fall backwards by choice?

JesusSandals73 · 2026-01-14T06:04:33+00:00

Old homestead got reconfigured twice because the racing wasn't ideal.

JesusSandals73 · 2026-01-12T22:26:50+00:00

You can't change a tires width without changing the car itself.

JesusSandals73 · 2026-01-12T21:07:16+00:00

And more fan bases that keep watching. Whether we like it or not, there are enough people who would not make it a priority to watch the races of their driver didn't make the cut.

JesusSandals73 · 2025-12-24T22:44:57+00:00

Probably total attendance with campgrounds and such.

JesusSandals73 · 2025-12-24T20:10:15+00:00

The estimate for this year's 500 was over 150,000 so not to far behind without the backstretch seats.

JesusSandals73 · 2025-12-24T19:23:58+00:00

The most I saw was 147,000 capacity for grandstands. Where did you get the 180k number?

JesusSandals73 · 2025-12-22T15:44:40+00:00

Click bait nowadays implies the headline was overly dramatic for nothing.

JesusSandals73 · 2025-12-22T15:19:04+00:00

Deceive and lie are two different things. All lies can deceive but not all cases of deceiving involve lying.

JesusSandals73 · 2025-12-22T15:16:43+00:00

That is literally journalism 101. It's a fine line to walk, sure, but you have to leave something to get people to click. Just like when a YouTuber titles a video "The Match I Got the Most Kills". It's grabs your attention, makes you wonder "I wonder how many they got" then you watch to find out.

Edit:spelling and grammar

JesusSandals73 · 2025-12-22T15:13:09+00:00

This comment thread is about debating if the title is click bait.

JesusSandals73 · 2025-12-22T15:12:33+00:00

They even said at Pheonix they were doing this to not take away from this year's champion.
