For street races with temporary stands they usually predict crowds pretty well. But at a dedicated track that has, say, 100,000 seats... Indy usually puts 10-20k in the stands.

The Izod IndyCar Series is batting 1.000 in Baltimore after the most successful inaugural American street racing event in the past 30 years.

An estimated 75,000 spectators turned out to see Will Power score a dominant victory over Oriol Servia and Tony Kanaan, pulling him within five points of championship leader Dario Franchitti.

The massive turnout quieted the doubters who had criticized efforts to stage a street race in Baltimore's Inner Harbor district.
