Q: What would you expect from Nascar if you had centered your summer vacation around last Sunday's race thereby spending a couple of thousand dollars in the process. We know that Nascar dropped the ball here, not Goodyear. The track at Indy has not been changed since the last Brickyard 400. Now Nascar is saying that they are willing to allow Goodyear to go to the size tire that is needed for the COT. (Pemberton, Nascar Now) This has hurt Nascar's reputation and even more fans will think twice about laying out the big bucks to attend a race that might or might not be conducted properly. If I spent my money to watch that tire test last Sunday I would be expecting at least a refund of my ticket price from Nascar, not the track owners!! I don't want to hear anymore about the fact that we have done this in the name of DRIVER SAFETY or Cost Containment for the teams! (BULL) I spent my money to watch a race!!! PEACE And thanks for letting me vent!
A: The apology is not sufficient for this debacle. Now granted they can't cover everybody's travel expenses, etc.. but they should allow anyone with a ticket stub or proof of purchase either a free ticket or HEAVILY discounted ticket for next year's race. Or, people should have the option to exchange that stub for an available seat at ANY NASCAR track. This should be valid for 2 years to allow everyone a reasonable opportunity to use it.
