That will help bring in cars and fans. The guys who are running for the points, which are usually the top quality cars, will have to come here to get the maximum points. The fans will see the best of the best racing against each other.

It was a nice weekend and we had 300 or 400 fans in the stands watching. That's unusual. You usually don't get that many. I'd say the fans are ready to watch some racing.

Adding close to $200 per benefit will be a tremendous help. However, heating bills are (in my opinion) running in the $100 to $200 per month or more range for LEAP recipients. Over the winter months, this will amount to $600 to $1,200. So there's still a gap. But the governor's proposal, if it passes, will help significantly.

It should help eliminate the perception of an East Coast bias. And the seeding will help teams and fans better understand who they are playing next and will help schools publicize the games, sell tickets and draw a better TV audience.
