I heard over the weekend that Bloomington was sold to IU and was going to be made into a practice field for football, and also Spiker is suppose to be leasing Paragon and will run it on Friday nights, Anybody else hear of this

I heard rumbles and grumbles about the Spiker thing and Paragon. There may be truth to that...

Bloomington rumor has already been discredited. As far as I know, Bloomington plans on racing again next year.

Regardless what you people have heard this past weekend, Bloomington Speedway is not for sale nor has it been sold. A few weeks ago I had the honor of attending the Kinser Dedication at the Speedway, the very first speaker at the dedication made mention that her Dad had stipulated when he passed ownership to the current owners that that this facility remain a Speedway. The current owners assured all in attendance that this is the plan now and for the future.
To quote a very near and Dear friend, this is "Fake News".

The Action Track was sold too and torn down to put up an empty store. For some reason I thought I'd go watch sprint cars there next Friday.
