DOVER, Del. -- Dover International Speedway in Delaware is hoping to make race fans' experience a little more comfortable by widening seats in the track's outdoor grandstands.
The speedway announced Thursday that the process of increasing seats from 18 inches to 22 inches will start next year and will be complete by 2014.
Denis McGlynn, president and CEO of Dover Motorsports, says the widening comes in response to fans' suggestions. The change will reduce the capacity of the speedway from 140,000 to 113,000.

Reducing the number of seats by 27,000? I smell an admission increase to cover the shortfall.
Perhaps a sponsorship by 'fatdaddy.com' is in order.

How about the installation of bariatric chairs that can raise Two Ton Tommy to his feet after a day of beer drinking and gorging himself ...
