It makes no sense.

Oh, and the points chase is dumb. Ratings die this time of year, anyways.

What doesn't make sense about it?

70 percent of the fans that would go to the race are VT fans. Then, there is the TV ratings.

LOL I disagree that 70% fans are VT fans. If this was an away game for us Id be there. I agree that ratings fall off due to football but I personally go to or record and watch Daytona, Bristol, Richmond, Talladega and Homestead.

Richmond is Cavalier country, not Hokie

If a person is upset about a race, does that qualify them as a racist?

 

[TennFan]

More people watching Vols vs VPI than the Richmond race. 60% of the fans at BMS are Vol fans!

They don't want to go against the NFL.

DVR's are a wonderful invention.

Fwiw, the race drew the lowest ratings of the season with a 1.5

Fwiw, the race drew the lowest ratings of the season with a 1.5

Most of the spots were locked up, competing with college football, no "junior nation" presence.

...not all that surprising.

That's because they don't race on Friday night.
