Lead section

• "65,000 people attended the race." Do you have the TV figures as well?

• No, only the ratings. I guess that TV figures for NASCAR races during the early to mid 2000's were not published Z105space ( Talk to me!) 18:58, 13 January 2015 (UTC) reply

Overall, I am happy with this article. I will promote once the issues above are addressed. good888 ( talk) 13:40, 13 January 2015 (UTC) reply
