Series Cup

Why does NASCAR keep adding more and more Saturday Night races to the NEXTEL Cup series?

I don’t understand why they keep adding to there Saturday night races. Don’t they realize that they are taking away for the racing attendence? Or don’t they car about there local NASCAR series tracks. Some tracks have gotten to where they don’t even race if there is a Cup race going on that night because the attendance is so extremely low they can’t afford to pay there drivers. Why don’t they just stick to there Sunday racing. Let Busch race on Saturday day and keep the attendance up at all the local race tracks around the country!

One word…television. Even though I’m not a NASCAR fan, I have several friends that are and they’re glued to the TV whenever there’s a race on. Even if that means Saturday night…prime-time is becoming a huge deal for NASCAR the way it is for other sports.
