With Danica Patrick gone attendance booms at Indy

What is all this talk of IndyCar's biggest star going to NASCAR and the series being in trouble because of it? Attendance has been up at every race since she left and today's Carb Day saw a big increase in attendance over anytime Danica Patrick raced at Indy.

So we are happy to report that race fans come to see the most talented race drivers race, and although Danica was nice eye candy, her departure has been a positive for IndyCar.

At the end of the day, sports fans come to see the best athletes compete.
