West Plains , Missouri (10/19/08) – Don and Billie Gibson, owners of West Plains Motor Speedway in West Plains , Missouri , have announced that their immaculate facility is for sale.
The racy, 3/8 mile oval, which is home of the annual Show Me 100, Super Late Model mega-event, as well as several other specials for Open Wheel Modifieds, Sprint Cars, and Street Stocks plus weekly racing series events, has been officially placed for sale. It’s with a heavy heart that the Gibsons consider selling the immaculate facility, but Don’s poor health over the past year has made it tough for the family to operate the track.
While the facility is for sale, the Gibson family would like to stress to the racers and fans that if the facility is not sold, that they will open it for business as usual in 2009 including all of the annual special events and weekly racing series events.
Billie Gibson comments, “We will not turn our back on the racers, fans, and traditions, which have rapidly developed over the past 16 seasons here at West Plains Motor Speedway. No matter what, WPMS will be open in 2009!”
The facility includes 80 rolling acres located on US Highway 63 as well as one of the very best 3/8 mile, red clay racing surfaces in the country. The track has seating for over 10,000 fans, plus three separate, fully equipped concession stands and two souvenir stands. A 4,800 sq ft covered, tech/vendor building is located on the property. Ample racetrack lighting is in place around the entire racing surface and facility. All of the necessary track maintenance and preparation equipment is included with the track. In addition, a bathhouse and a campground are located on the property.
This facility is priced to sell, and provides a tremendous investment opportunity for someone to invest in a top notch race track that has a great and proud history as well as highly-regarded reputation.
