Bristol in #1 in ticket sales

It may be hard to tell the effects this weekend, because Bristol Motor Speedway's 160,000 seats are always filled, and the waiting list for tickets is long. Saturday's Sharpie 500 marks the 53rd consecutive sellout here, the longest stretch of sellouts in NASCAR. And tonight's Nationwide race will be the 19th straight race in that series with a crowd of 100,000-plus at the Bristol track. That means more than 560,000 tickets have been sold for this year's four NASCAR races there. No other venue in the sport comes close. journalnow.com
