Local rumor mill is that Tony Stewart was seen in the Court House because he may have purchased the Winchester Speedway! Any truth to this? I guess Kenny Shrader was there also?

Nothing to do with this story, but my favorite article about Winchester years ago had to do with the old covered grandstand. The author said if you were in the top row, you didn't stand up unless you wanted an unsolicited brain operation.

7horse,

Winchester can use a ton of improvements. Let's hope this rumor really is true.

Regarding Eldora:

Guess he has run Eldora into the ground. Right. Here, refresh your memory on some recent Eldora attendance records. Seems odd he's run it into the ground and the fans are staying away.

Eldora Speedway dirt track estimates crowd at 25,000

25,000 packed into Eldora Speedway to watch some dirt late model racing. The World 100 estimates come from track manager Roger Slack.
Related: 2017 World 100 Results – September 9th, 2017
On Saturday night, the crowd was estimated at 25,000. That’s the largest single-day attendance in the long history of Eldora Speedway.

2017 Kings Royal - Dayton Daily News article

More than 20,000 spectators packed Eldora to witness the Kings Royal. Attendance numbers are not released, but it was announced as the largest in event history. One of those spectators took home an equally impressive $32,380 for their share of the 50/50 pot.

Racing at Eldora last year was incredible for basically every event/race I attended; which was 14.
