Yea, even the Brickyard here has been struggling with that.

The demographic is limited, maybe they should think about free beers with a ticket purchase?

That is an idea, working on upgrading the Speedway right now for disabled persons to have better access.

I think the whole thing needs some kind of overhaul, right now it really only appeals to the car crowd IMO.

There is a very nice Museum there too, but yea perhaps something to get the younger crowd to enjoy at the track besides just the races.

I was thinking they need to do something to expand their demographic, as it is it seems incredibly limited. They need more than the youth, they need women, minorities, etc.

The problem is racing in and of itself only appeals to a certain segment of the population, top that off with being one of the only spectator sports where the spectators could face certain death or permanent injury and it just doesn't cast itself in the "family friendly" light. Would you want to bring your young child to an event where one accident could kill you both? For some parents even a 1:100,000 chance is too much.

Exactly, look at the NFL - they're struggling to get butts in the seats. The presentation on TV is far superior to the majority of the seats in any stadium, for one you won't need binoculars.
