NASCAR Race Short Of Sellout At Renovated ISM Raceway

Track President Julie Giese said, "I wish I could tell you (why). ... We'll learn a lot after this event based on who's coming. Are they new or old customers? I'm a data-driven person and my marketing background will help" (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 3/11).
