More overtime was credited to NASCAR than any other special event so far this summer except the Pride Parade, for which officers were credited with 31,297 hours. The 2023 Pride Parade crowd estimate was nearly a million people; NASCAR projected it would attract about 100,000 attendees over the course of the weekend.

It was inconvenient and in some ways poorly executed, but I am absolutely not upset about it being the first thing to prompt significant road repairs in years.
