Thinking that his odds of being reinstated by NASCAR are pretty slim at this point. Cannot wait to hear his excuse this time. Maybe NASCAR and his step mom broke in and hid the drugs in his house.
Some good points on what helped seal the fate of Gateway. On the local political side, remember that St. Louis was in final running for the track that Bruton Smith put in Texas. Most of our local politicians of every stripe hardly lifted a finger to even show interest in getting it.
Wow racing_fan2. I did not think of something so complicated. Thanks for letting me know how a business operates.
A couple of points again. Dover let these tracks die off. They put little effort into their survival when they realized they would not get cup races. The local employees at...
Also, it will be interested to see where things go with the proposed Branson track. From what I understand, they realize that it will have to survive with a cup date.
I think that Iowa is doing fine, but part or that is that they did not build with the impression that they would get a cup race. IRP was able to make a go of it without the cup race (until they had the Nationwide race pulled out from under them). The people at Dover had to be crazy to think...

Someone else might be coming to the team and bringing a sponsor with them to fill the second car. It is getting to be like Indy cars where the drivers buy rides with the sponsors they bring with them. With Justin's talent, hopefully he gets a good ride for next season. Penske is crazy not to...
They stick it at 9 PM (10 East coast) do little advertising and only give it 3 weeks. Now that is dedication. Hopefully Speed can cut a deal to pick up the show. Did anyone hear if they were able to finalize the deal to pickup Madhouse?
I race a legends car, but have to tow all the way down to Springfield, MO to race. Would love to have somewhere to race a little closer to home. They tried them for a few races at Tri-City in the late 90's, but did not have a very big turnout and it sort of died off. I think that the cars...
