Does Atlanta Deserve A NASCAR Race?

I watched the NASCAR race today and it was at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. The stands were not full, which is ok. In these tough times, NASCAR is having a tougher time to sell tickets, so I understand that.
But looking for news stories about the race and race week in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, you couldn't tell there was a race this weekend. There was nothing on their web site on Thursday and just one article today, after the race and a few photo's.
What the heck? This is probably one of the biggest sports day in Atlanta's year and they choose to have minimal coverage?
I think Atlanta ought to support the race or lose it and you can start with the media.
BTW, congrats to Las Vegas's Kurt Busch for his win. And finally, Carl Edwards is very fortunate that he isn't facing murder charges for the hit he put on Keslowski. He ought to be suspended for a couple of races, but because he is a pretty boy and popular, he will probably be put on probation and pay a fine.
