Really hoping someone takes over that wants the racing to be over around 11:00. This track is 50 miles from home and rarely hear anything good about it.

Always like the grandstand at Butler. Real steep so every seat feels like you are right on top of the action. Good luck to the new owners. Been a while since i have been there, it was still oiled dirt

I have ran a lot on oiled tracks and cc tracks, oiled were not fun after a rain, cow pies got piled up and hard to see around.

"Being old, isn't half as much fun, as getting there"! Ole Robert I!

Guess will see if it really sold. Seen several times in the past with claims someone bought it only it to fall back in Donaldson’s hands.

From the news article:
Additionally, he's doubled down, saying the weekly program will still feature the same four classes with Sprint Cars, UMP Modifieds, Street Stocks, and Front Wheel Drives. When asked about adding or dropping divisions, Tim responded, “I think right now, the way Denny and Bob left me, I think we have four good classes of cars.”
