SMI to move failing Atlanta race to Kentucky
Despite the official "estimated" attendance figure of 80,000, the stands Sunday for the Atlanta Sprint Cup race looked more like a Craftsman Truck or Nationwide race crowd. And we are being kind here. SMI has not filled up Atlanta for years and the crowds have been shrinking annually. Rumor has it that there's only one Atlanta race (on Labor Day) on the schedule in 2010 and SMI moved the other Atlanta race to the Kentucky Speedway they recently purchased.
