They got rid of Wilkesboro. They got rid of Rockingham. They got rid of Indianapolis Raceway Park. You see what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-block full\">\n[embedded content]\n<\/div>\n<p>Wallace further detailed, \u201cNow, I did ask Marcus Smith, SMI (Speedway Motorsports Incorporated), I said, \u2018What are you doing?\u2019 He says, \u2018Well, we\u2019re going to all these bigger venues. We need more land because we need 200,000 seats. Because NASCAR\u2019s so big.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then provided an analogy, \u201cIt\u2019s kind of like that restaurant. You know the restaurant. They\u2019re always sold out. You got to get on a waiting list. Remember those? And then the owner goes, \u2018I\u2019m gonna build five more\u2019 and then the restaurant goes bad because it\u2019s not special anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s better to have a great restaurant that you need to be on a waiting list,\u201d Wallace asserted. \u201cBecause then when there\u2019s more of it nobody cares anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Using another analogy he explained, \u201cIt\u2019s kind of like the nightclub you can\u2019t get into, but that\u2019s the one you want to get into.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3292\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3292\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022.08.03-04.32-themixnet-62eaa30cd771d.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1035\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3292\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Indianapolis Motor Speedway Photo Credit: redlegsfan21, CC BY-SA 2.0 <https: \/>, via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"title\"><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boundingintosports.com\/2022\/08\/after-the-race-is-over-ryan-blaney-spins-out-daniel-suarez-in-retaliation-for-being-spun-out-in-final-laps-at-indianapolis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">After The Race Is Over Ryan Blaney Spins Out Daniel Suarez In Retaliation For Being Spun Out In Final Laps At Indianapolis<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"email-signup inarticle\">\n<h4>Subscribe and get our daily emails and follow us on social media.<\/h4>\n<div class=\"terms-privacy\">\n<p>By opting in, you agree to receive emails from TheMix.net.

That new car we\u2019ve got right now, I think that\u2019s our last shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRoger Penske just came out and said, \u2018Look, we\u2019re planning on running the road course again in 2023.\u2019 Roger\u2019s the man. He\u2019s a legend. And he\u2019s smart and NASCAR and Roger got it going on. Those are powerhouses.
