I talked with Jiggs yesterday (Saturday, 11-22 ) at Scott Benic's open house. He assured us that Gas City is indeed alive and well. He said an announcement would be made by December 1st.
Dusty :applaud:

Anyone care to guess?

I could be incredibly wrong again :)

there is a pizza buffet down he road!

Come on guys, you know how bought it. Tony Stewart just like he is buying anderson speedway, and the land they are clearing out for a new dirt track. At the same time he will be building that new dirt track in Columbus, and don't forget about any other track on the verge of closeing, he will be buying that one too :O: sorry couldn't resist. Even though the current guys are wanting out, i don't think they could set there and watch the track set empty for a year. Weather it is sold or not, you will see great racing there this year.

I saw on another board that Ray Evernham is negotiating to buy East Lincoln Speedway in North Carolina. The story said that Evernham has sold his interest in his NASCAR team and is trying to buy the 1/3 mile dirt track. Maybe he and his partner will throw some of that money toward Indiana and Gas City.:O::kookoo

I had heard that Mud Packer, Seadog, and SUPERDUKE had formed a partnership and were taking over operation of the I-69 Speedway. I guess that fell through, huh? :wink:O::wink

If Greg is involved, it will most likely be as a hire. I would doubt that, at this point in time, his finances would allow him too large of a stake in the business. I'm not saying Greg couldn't be involved but probably not financially.

Rumors and speculations, aren't they wonderful? Unless something has changed in Greg Staab's life since the beginning of Nov. he plans on being with the 6R team next year. At least that is what he told all of our mutal racing friends when he was in Phoenix.

Tom Hastings' wife is a former driver. Stephanie owned and drove a VW midget for a while.

Hey KIDD, enlighten all of us as to who is going to run and operate the place.

Hmmmm since Kidd commented, maybe it is the OConner's. The people who took over and made such a huge success of Kokomo.
