Dismal attendance in Atlanta

The weather was good, bright and sunny, if a bit cool, but the action on the track was generally dismal, and the real hot stuff didn't get going until drivers crawled out of their cars and began talking about their 31/2 hours of frustrations yesterday at Atlanta Motor Speedway. And the crowd was dismal as well. NASCAR announced the attendance at 100,000, but that was generous. Maybe 50,000 watched.
