The struggling economy has the car racing business running dry. From lower ticket sales to fewer car repairs and maintenance, people in the business say they are struggling to make ends meet.
Car shop owner Brad Tidrick tells Action News, “It trickles down. Auto racing isn’t a necessity, so people have opted to take their money and do more important things with it.”
Tidrick is having a difficult time making ends meet because car racing is an expensive sport. Action News reporter Audrey Asistio explains, “Just in a single car racing season, racers will have to replace a fender at least four times. That alone costs $400.”
