Del Rio's better than Laredo.
Of course, a festering cesspool is better than Laredo.
True, on some nights, but I have been there on others and you get great racing. This ain't Lakeland Fl where I saw a great Hooter's Cup Race, but you do get some very talented drivers to pass through and with the right direction, it is going someplace.
For example, Brandon Bendele of Adkins Tx raced in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series . Brandon drove the #24 Roof Check/Might MTSPS Chevrolet owned by Rob Ferguson on several occasions.

How so? There are about triple the number of Joe Bobs in the Houston metro area as there are in SA. Lest we forget the proximity to East Texas and Louisiana.
No, but your stupid lame ass descriptions of something you've been to once is really dip like.
I would only go again if it was free.
Are we now on population, I thought we were talking aesthetics.
Forget it, I'm not arguing population numbers with you.
Earth to Marcus Bryant: NASCAR fans TRAVEL.
Trust me, those Joe Bobs would be s-wigglin' happy to come to San Antonio to watch a race or two a season.
I just love racing! I'll watch just about any level.
The one thing that never fails to amuse me is the misunderstanding that NASCAR is a BUBBA sport still and only attended by such. That is so far from true. NASCAR has led to some of the highest market es on wall street by its sponsors. This sport, like most has become very corporate. Go to a race and come back and tell me what you see. Yes, you will see a Redneck or two, myself included, but you see more white collar business type wit hplenty of green to spend!
Can San Antonio really get a Nascar race? Is this going to be another Texas Open? I think securing a race would be priority number one before building it.....
IRL is not going to fill the seats.
Best thing we can do is shoot right now for Hooter's Cup races or ASA. That is where to start. From there we may get looked at for a Busch race and then Cup. But honestly, with TMS just winning this year their right to two races here, and with the drivers fighting an increase in schedule additions, it will be an uphill battle.
These guys already participate in the longest season in sports. They basicaly have a 90 day off season, that really is not an off season since they are testing and doing wind tunnels and stuff. It really is unbelievable sometimes just how much they travel. More than them though, the amount of fans that travel from track to track each weekend. Fantastic following!

Yeah Nascar is pretty much tops when it comes to following.
I wouldn't assume that the city is going to drop a 200,000 seat track in here for a hooter's race. Anything outside of Nascar will be failure after the initial infatuation wears off.
Cities like Miami can't even come up with the funds to build a 38000 seat stadium for a team that has won 2 world series championships in the last 10 years, but San Antonio is going to build another dome, a mlb stadium, a nascar track and another pga village or something similar????????
Someone is smoking some serious crack.
Again, the thing to remember is this is only a vision right now.
Yeah, it's rather hard to pretend that SA offers a much more appealing demographic profile than Houston.
What does Miami have to do with San Antonio? , they can't even fill the Heat arena.
Miami is NOT sports town.

It's not a PGA Village.
ing let me.Someone is smoking some serious crack.
I never said that tool.
Dude, seriously, get over yourself.
I'm sure even Joe Bobs would appreciate a track that is a couple of hours closer.
The vision should be to build an infrastructure right now that can lead to bigger growth.Again, the thing to remember is this is only a vision right now.
Like transit systems, better highways, better schools, sidewalks, police, fire dept, ambulance, hospitals, etc. etc.
There are numerous developments going up all over town, Westover Hills, Southside, Stone Oak, Retama, etc. etc...
I just see this as an entrepreneur blowing smoke up the asses of the citizens of San Antonio.
Red McCombs doesn't even have enough money to build this kinda crap.
Oh yes, you didn't say that but that's clearly what was implied, kiddo.
Miami HeatMiami is NOT sports town.
Miami Dolphins
Florida Marlins
Have you ever been to Miami?
Sure, they'd appreciate it. But they wouldn't NOT come to our track if we built one. That's all I'm sayin'.
Significantly fewer of them would show.
Don't forget the Panthers. And the U.
Miami has all of the majors. And Jai Alai.
Nascar races will be sold out, that's a given, but the other stuff, not even close, especially if tickets are > 10 dollars.
Oh yeah, I forgot... and water sports............Don't forget the Panthers. And the U.
Miami has all of the majors. And Jai Alai.
South beach, etc. etc.
If you say so.
