Were you able to get a # on the total attendance for the race by chance? I'm curious.
Also, f1 and Indy 500 get WAY more attendance than NASCAR, almost tripple the attendance than say the Daytona 500. Which is NASCARs largest race. F1 I think even may double Indy 500 out of COTA. It's crazy the amount of fans they get at those races.
I've put that behind me
I didn't find any stats, except this quote from an article.
"Prior to the event, Nascar announced it was expecting approximately 50,000 people to attend each day. That number has not been finalized, especially with the torrential downpours that plagued Chicago on Sunday. However, NBC had a 2.52 rating and 4.632 million viewers, which is the most viewed race on the platform in six years. It was also the most streamed race ever on Peacock, and NBC Sports digital, with 163,500 viewers."
To be honest, it's better seen on TV. Because of trees and hills I don't think anyone saw the whole track, much less half. The outside 8' fence was covered so ya couldn't really see much from the outside. Unless I had a seat, I wouldn't even bother. Even from the 3rd floor I could not see but one corner, and I was on the track street. Could have been better somewhere else, but not for me.
