Very smart business by Stafford the more the kids get involved the future of racing they have been doing a great job marketing this year
I agree this is one of the things Stafford does right. you need to get kids involved at a young age. I seem to remember Stafford used to make a big deal about the kids club and had special events for them. I believe they have youth sports night where they get in free if they wear their jersey. The population of racing fans are getting older and you need to get fans interested in racing at an early age. I know my interest in racing was solidified by going to Westboro Speedway as young kid. I think Stafford should consider offering free wifi, maybe a little playground area, maybe bring in a bounce house and face painters for kids night. I know other tracks have big wheel races, I don’t think I have seen them at Stafford. Do it at the beginning of the season to get the kids begging their parents to bring them back.
