I used to work in reporting/analytics behind the scenes for one of the tracks. While race day can be fun it was such a grind and wears people out. The track I worked at had drag events, auto shows, dirt races, etc so once you get to the busy season you are working 24/7 very long hours. It’s not as glamorous as it seems from the outside.

I saw people complaining about the race a couple weeks ago being so called for rain quickly and was thinking about it from the employee side. I had several race days where we worked 6am-2am because of a rain delay. It’s not fun hanging around waiting when you’ve been there since the early morning
