The Dover International Speedway is cutting 17,500 seats before the next race day.
Shortly after last month’s race weekend the Speedway eliminated the grandstands along turns 2 and 3.
It’s the first phase of what the Speedway is calling right-sizing the facility.
Over the years the Speedway has seen attendance drop with 85-thousand attendees in 2012.
At its height the Speedway could hold 130-thousand people.
Three years ago that capacity was reduced to 113-thousand.
Now, it will be seating 95,500 spectators.
