Letter: Most fans liked Vegas.com 500

I just read Ron Kantowski's column ("IRL takes crash course in racing," Sept. 27) on the Vegas.com 500.

I was at the race and can honestly say that everyone around us was really into the race and seemed to enjoy it. Yes, there were wrecks and yellows, but that made the restarts very interesting and allowed for a chance to escape the heat for a moment to grab a beverage.

I hope the Las Vegas track continues to have the IRL because it provides a nice reason to visit your town other than just gambling.
