The track was in my opinion a terrible investment. They hosted 2-3 races and then use it for the drving experience. Nascar races would attract too many people and would hurt the rest of the business they are trying to promote...the track is also not suitable for those type of cars (the banks and turns would not allow then to run safely).

It's called the Disney Raceway near the Poly. Indy pulled out, so now it's just there as a waste of space.

Ops. Walt turned in his grave again.

Re: slight modifications
Yeah, but MONEY, mulah, is low. Their experiment proves that racers don't want to spend extra money staying at a Disney place.
And ditto for advertising on a car. MONEY. AND LOOK AT WALT SPIN!

Re: slight modifications
They can't affect the business they are primarilly trying to sell. If they were to host the Nascar event it would disturb the people who are there for the theme parks.
They would pretty much have to demolish the whole track to modify it for nascar. The need banked turns which is something that the track was not made for.

Re: Re: slight modifications
Hello they are racers and they dont care about a little extra money for a room lol wow
Second Racing is the fastest growing sport Stock Car Racing = money which equals money for disney! even if a quarter of the people who went to the race went to a park or hotel taht spells profit!
Advertising on a Car is also MONEY ads on tv with the car, specials, interviews, games, JUST MONEY!!!!!!!!!!

I know they have no banking, but they are also ovals. The disney track has turns that would not allow the powerful cars to race there. Trust me on this, I know what I am talking about.

Re: Re: Re: slight modifications
It's a bilboard on a car. It'll cost money. And they'll charge. Second, not to raise offense to any racing fans, but do most of them care about the quailty Disney stands for? Or how would the reaction be? The pansie car?
Also, sure it's growing (fastest, well, I know one growing faster) but does it mean they will come if they advertise? Nope. Look at the same thing you want to reopen, the race track. Lots of people went, but strategicly, it dosn't work out.
And just becaus it has a 4' by 2' sticker with "DISNEY" on it dosn't mean it's going to attract money. It's a lot more sophistacated than that. We have the tastes of the people their going to reach, the amount of luck that the camera is in the right place when the car goes by, and such other things.

There is no way that it could work at the current raceway.
1. Track isn't suitable.
2. There aren't enough seats and the number neededcouldn't be reached.
3. There isn't enough room for 43 trailers, pits, etc.
4. There wouldn't be enough parking for the MK and the race if the track/seating was large enough.

Re: Re: Re: Re: slight modifications

Re: Re: slight modifications
Good point DisneyInsider. Although NASCAR could make Disney some money, making WDW customers upset would far outweigh any benefits gained from auto racing.
Another reason NASCAR would not be a good idea is it's not really in Disney's buisness strategy. Although I am sure Disney could make money at it, it's just not what they do from a business perspective.

Advertising is advertising. Disney has though about all of this, from NASCAR to aligning two planets behind the moon at the top.
And this "full scale sponsorship" would not go beyond the car, possibly a nice appearence at a park here and there or a mickey on the hat, but that's it. Sponsors you see on TV ads are
a.) Sponsors of the even (read: LOADS of money
b.) Are regularly shown ads.
And even if your calculations are correct, the capacity and other factors will outway they debate about this.
BTW, as nice as possible, don't call people "fools" or such or you could find yourself banned like a few people here before you. Go look at RobFL's posts. You'll see.
