Hi,
I think the numbers in this table are for the stands. I base that partially on the table note saying the number is for the seats, and partially for the Indi track which is listed at 257,325 in the table, and the article which says "257,000 people, and infield seating that raises capacity further to an approximate 400,000."
The numbers they give, for seats in the tracks used for the Sprint Cup Series, are more like 41 to 275 thousand (plus infield). Which only reinforces your claim. Didn't want you to fall short.
