Well, perhaps you know them better than I. The price of gas is probably a small fraction of the total price of admission. ” . . . because dumber people will continue to pay 30 bucks a ticket to watch cars drive in a circle.”

It's not as much like driving in a circle. And the cars go significantly faster than the other more boring nascars. It's just more respectable, not that I've watched more than five minutes of it. Maybe ten if its a city track. I don't pause to watch nascar. I think it would be an awsome place for a circuit type racetrack. They could call it the U235 or atomictumor grand prix.
