Nearly 20,000 fewer fans will be able to enjoy the high speed action at Atlanta Motor Speedway when NASCAR returns in March.
The track’s parent company, Speedway Motorsports, Inc., announced Tuesday that they will remove 17,000 seats from the track’s grandstands.
The company anticipates using those areas for premium hospitality, advertising and other facility purposes.
Their sister track, Charlotte Motor Speedway, is losing 41,000 seats.
