    Whaaaaat? Really? I thought Nashville was rejected because it didn't have the attendance but if I'm wrong then why in the world did IICS drop Nashville?

    Nashville pretty much filled its stands to capacity -- but that capacity was pretty small.

    I don't know if that's why they don't race there anymore.

    IIRC, as announced by Dover Downs, Nashville Speedway will no longer continue to host competitive events, whether it is NASCAR or IndyCar. From what I can tell, the track is or probably will be up for sale.

    Yep. It's essentially closed.

    They are there this weekend... do you really think a return engagement in about 8 -10 weeks would sell out as well?

    Yeah, I heard about that. I am guessing that the reason is they know they will never get Sprint Cup down there. They kept the stands small until they needed to expand for Cup.

    Too bad. I was able to attend two IndyCar races there, and it's a fine facility.

    As I mentioned in another thread, there are still over 2,000 tickets remaining at TicketMaster today.

    It very well could be a sellout -- but not selling out until the day of the race isn't quite as impressive as your assertion might lead one to believe.
