The two major public companies host NASCAR races have seen ticket revenues drop about 10 percent for 14 events since the Daytona 500.Speedway Motorsports, in releasing Wednesday its 2016 financials through June, showed its admissions revenue down 11 percent this year. That includes its seven major NASCAR weekends, but it also includes some impact from the suspended IndyCar race at Texas in June that will be completed in August.Earlier this month, International Speedway Corp. reported its ticket sales were down 8.3 percent for March through May.[Improving attendance] is a combination of the improved racing that fans are being [able] to see and enjoy and also more certainty in the economy -- particularly, the middle class needs to feel more certain and confident in their economic position to travel more, SMI CEO Marcus Smith told financial analysts in a conference call Wednesday morning.SMI showed a $25.6 million profit through June and said its March estimate of earnings of $0.90-$1.10 per share for 2016 is still an accurate estimate for the year.Its profits from general operations have dropped 15 percent in 2016. SMI chief financial officer Bill Brooks said bad weather at four of its major race weekends (Las Vegas, Texas and both Charlotte weekends) impacted profits. Without that bad weather, he estimated overall profits would have dropped 3-4 percent.In addition to a decrease in general ticket sales, SMI saw decreased demand for suites and corporate entertainment as well as fewer track rentals, Brooks said. The June race at Sonoma also saw a decrease in revenues in part, Brooks said, because last year was Jeff Gordons final race at the track that is just 15 miles from Gordons hometown.With Tony Stewart retiring after this season, Smith said the sport can absorb the loss of its stars.NASCAR has an amazing group of young and upcoming drivers that aare really going to be great for the sport.dddddddddddd ...

Next years spring race will be in early June.Weve upgraded our concessions and hospitality offerings ... [and] expanded access opportunities for fans along with outdoor movie nights, fireworks and concerts are also part of the effort, McGlynn said.Were getting very positive feedback from our fans. Of course, getting our blue collar audience back to work would be very helpful, too.While attendance has dropped, tracks have seen an increase in television revenues. SMI reported a 3.1 percent increase. Combined with ISC, the tracks reported television net income of $199.6 million from the NASCAR television contract. Their ticket sales, which include other racing events (NHRA, IndyCar, sports-car races, etc.) totaled $107.4 million for the first half of their fiscal years.Our initiatives include promotions and at-track amenities and access that target families, younger generation, first-time fans and our longtime fans all at the same time, Smith said.The first 19 Sprint Cup races of the NASCAR season, according to Smith, attracted an average of 5.3 million viewers on television. That would be a drop of 7 percent from the average of 5.7 million viewers that Smith, when speaking on the conference call a year ago, said had watched the first 19 races in 2015. ' ' '
