The track had all this bad publicity two weeks before the race.
No one in their right mind would go on with it. The facts are open wheel races have been held there, Allied Insurance approved the track last month, and they race weekly there this year.
Look for more open wheel racing there next year...right now this track is radioactive on open wheel racing.
Check out the Big Modified race there if you want to see for yourself:
